wma transcoding profile for SK17i (Sony Xperia mini pro)

Hi,
my Sony android phone doesn't play wma audio files natively. Using skifta/rockplay works to stream wma files but isn't usable, there are no playlists.
So I tried BubbleUPnP or UPnPlay and having a special profile in Serviio to transcode on the fly wma into mp3. But when assigning this profile to the client in Serviio, the handshake doesn't work and Serviio isn't available any more in BubbleUPnP/UPnPlay. As soon as I switch back to Generic DLNA profile Serviio is available again ... but I can't play my wma files. I've attached the protocol info of my Sony via BubbleUPnP.

The profile I tried (already in different variations) looks like that:
  Code:
...
   <Profile id="XPERIAPro" name="Sony Xperia mini pro" extendsProfileId="1">
      <Detection>
         <UPnPSearch>
           <FriendlyName>SK17i</FriendlyName>
         </UPnPSearch>
      </Detection>
      <Transcoding>
         <!-- Transcode WMA -->
         <Audio targetContainer="mp3" forceInheritance="true">
            <!-- To allow "pause" then "resume" functions and album art for TVs that support it - transcode to mp3 instead lpcm -->
            <Matches container="asf" />
         </Audio>
      </Transcoding>
   </Profile>           
</Profiles>

What is wrong with the profile? Thanks for helping.

looks like this way it worksa slo with BubbleUPnP (found finally something in this forum in the general Sony section):
  Code:
...
   <Profile id="XPERIAPro" name="Sony Xperia mini pro" extendsProfileId="1">
      <Detection>
         <UPnPSearch>
           <FriendlyName>.*SK17i.*</FriendlyName>
         </UPnPSearch>
      </Detection>
         <MediaFormatProfiles>
               <!-- rename native WMA formats to those supported by the device -->
               <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="audio/x-ms-wma" name="WMABASE">WMA_BASE</MediaFormatProfile>
               <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="audio/x-ms-wma" name="WMAFULL">WMA_FULL</MediaFormatProfile>
       </MediaFormatProfiles>
       <Transcoding>
           <!--For WLAN: mp3 target is used
            <Audio targetContainer="mp3" aBitrate="192" aSamplerate="44100">
               <Matches container="flv"/>
              <Matches container="asf"/>
               <Matches container="rtp"/>
               <Matches container="rtsp"/>
               <Matches container="flac"/>
               <Matches container="ogg"/>
            </Audio>
        </Transcoding>
   </Profile>
