Is there an openHAB binding for the class of audio devices you are dealing with?

DLNA / UPNP binding

For all interested. I have updated my UPnP binding with UPnP server directory search capabilities. Fee free to try. You can find the .jar here. The search works by entering search criteria in UPnP search string format. Examples: dc:title contains “song” dc:creator contains “Springsteen” upnp:class = “object.item.audioItem” upnp:album contains “Born in” The code is on my personal GitHub page here. It is far from production ready code and I don’t have plans to make it perfect. But you can use …

This is a generic UPnP binding that includes functionality to use a renderer as an audio sink. Sorry to hijack the thread… the discussion about getting an audio sink from an Item name caught my eye, as I was also trying to do the same programmatically.
