BubbleUPnP supports controlling OpenHome renderers since some time, in particular those (but not only) created with BubbleUPnP Server backed by any regular UPnP AV renderer. Other implementations also work, whether hardware (such as the Aries) or purely software (upmpd and others)
BubbleUPnP deliberatly excludes Linn DS as OH renderers though. This is to avoid confusion with BubbleDS which is much better to control a Linn DS (simplified interface for just audio, removed irrelevant settings, Linn DS specific features not found in most other OH implementation such as radio and songcast). BubbleDS can also control any OH implementation besides Linn's so that's probably the best solution for controlling only OH renderers.

As far as I can tell, BubbleUPnP uses the UPnP AV renderer in my Linn DS and doesn't use its OpenHome interface to load a playlist into the renderer. I tested this by setting up a playlist for the Linn DS using BubbleUPnP and powering off my Android tablet part way through a track. The track finished but the next track wasn't played.
