Investigate NAA autostart problem

NAA was selected as the player in the software tab ever since the NAA completed installation.

Today I re-installed Snakeoil 0.1.5, activated, updated to the latest firmware, changed the kernel to x64-ipv6, then finally installed HQPlayer NAA again. I'm getting the same issue where "Running: ERROR" appears under Player Status for NAA. I did the same workaround: SSH into the system with my user account, and did a "sudo networkaudiod start". This changes the Player Status to "Running: ok (pid:xxxx)", and HQPlayer can see my USB endpoint and play normally.

Thanks for any help to address this. There's no hurry since the above workaround is effective, and I'm already enjoying the sound.
