Public bug reported: gmediarender does not start as a service unless files /etc/init.d/gmediarender and /etc/default/gmediarender are modified. Firstly the user nobody cannot be used because the process wants to write files. And the audio params best left out. The whole service thing is a mess!
If you start the prog from the command line as an ordniary user - zero parms - it works!
