Everything on One machine doesn't make a lot of sense to me, for two 
reasons:

1) This is heavily network dependent, making sure the machines can find 
eachother is a critical aspect of testing this.
2) Qemu does some magic with tun/tap devices, you have to configure 
things to get multicast working between guests. I've tested the 
mediatomb image in qemu, it works. We need to test on real hardware.
3) We don't an image that will install everything on the same machine, 
and making one doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
4) Running a NAS to serve up media to itself doesn't test the networking 
side of things as well.

I'd rather use 3 real devices (even if they are all emenlow or 
blacksand) rather than qemu or all on one.
