Some extension of the standard therefore has to be implemented to provide the gapless capability; this is certainly the case with the Linn players I use.

This isn't correct. The UPnP AV specification includes the optional service action SetNextAVTransportURI which can be used by UPnP AV renderers and control points to support gapless play.

Quote:I suspect (but, as DLNA is not an open standard, cannot know) that DLNA certification does not allow extensions to the protocols; if this is true, this would explain the advice given to Leixuros.

Fortunately, this isn't true. If the extension is compatible with the DLNA protocols and the product passes the DLNA conformance tests, the product can be certified as DLNA.
