Ok, but how high are the chances that a different device pops in with the same name? I only have one UPnP playback device and it always reports the same device name to the Nokia. So I didn't see your point here... Does it make sense to drop such useful feature, only because the application can not make 100% sure it's the same/right device?

Of course we can fake it, but is not wise do fake things =)
It's not clear to me what you have to fake here.

I wish I could setup my hifi UPnP playback device called "ABCD" as default playback device so when Canola2 gets reported about the existence of the UPnP device "ABCD" it changes the playback device to this device automatically (if not already set), so I do not have to do that by hand as first step after starting Canola2. (Like I have to do with Nokia Media Streamer.) If this needs 1-5 seconds because the UPnP devices are reported dynamically, I don't care since it's still better than having to wait 1-5 seconds and do this by hand every time.
