Issues running RPiPlay as a service

Hi, thanks for the great piece of software! Everything (almost!) works like a charm. The only thing i can't figure out is this:

I have to run rpiplay like this to be able to use the gstreamer audio renderer, and it works fine (there's no audio at all if i run it without the gstreamer):

/home/pi/RPiPlay/build/rpiplay -ar gstreamer

so bearing this in mind i created a service script in /etc/systemd/system/rpiplay.service with the following content:


[Unit]
Description=RPi Play
After=network.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=30

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=10
User=pi
ExecStart=/home/pi/RPiPlay/build/rpiplay -ar gstreamer
StandardOutput=inherit
StandardError=journal

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

...and audio does not work. it seems that the -ar gstreamer is not picking up and the rpiplay starts with the default audio renderer.

Is there something i am doing wrong, or there's an issue in my /etc/systemd/system/rpiplay.service that i am missing?

Thanks!

figured out it should just not be run with a sudo to function properly
