Hmmm, I just looked over the patch...  I think that unfortunately,
this may well break many other players.  Sony is not the only client
to put "DLNADOC" in their client identifier string.  Many others do as
well.  It's unfortunate that Sony chooses not to put anything useful
in there, but I fear that if we put this in, it would fix Sony at the
expense of any other DLNA client.

For instance, my DirecTV HD receiver reports:
Linux/2.6.18-lttng-0.6.41, UPnP/1.0 DIRECTV JHUPnP/1.0 DLNADOC/1.00
DIRECTV VIIV devices INTEL_NMPR/2.1

What is the complete UserAgent string from the Sony devices?  If you
run the backend with -v upnp, it should be reported similar to:


2010-11-12 02:38:17.946 SSDPExtension::GetDeviceDesc -
Host=192.168.1.8 Port=6544 UserAgent=Linux/2.6.18-lttng-0.6.41,
UPnP/1.0 DIRECTV JHUPnP/1.0 DLNADOC/1.00 DIRECTV VIIV devices
INTEL_NMPR/2.1
