there is a list of these sorts of things on the pupnp page.

I had an installation of mediatomb on my nslu2; the provision for security 
in it are by default ridiculously limited.  [Hint - no security by 
default, and if you turn it ON, passwords are stored in a cleartext file, 
and the program implements a full-blown filesystem browser...]

This might be OK inside a single home or in a place where you are the only 
user... I decided it wasn't appropriate even inside my house, much less 
potentially installed on an internet-accessible machine by default.  :-)

I do kinda like mediatomb's (ajax) interface, but it sure stand having 
some more engineering time pumped into it.

I have heard good things about this, but have not actually used it.

This looks to be a little bit interesting - can you confirm that it works 
outside of syabas-based players?


There's also mt-daapd, which has significant utility with something like 
rhythmbox....
