Avahi you tell you which interface can be used to reach a given link-local address afaik. Enabling DAAP only if routable address is found would be non-sense since DAAP is supposed to just work for all basic network situations and auto-assigned IPv4 or v6 belong to this. _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
