Wait a sec, I have that setup (just mediatomb instead of ps3mediaserver) and there's no avahi on my network. Yet the PS3 is perfectly capable of discovering and using the DLNA server.
Avahi allows the workstation running it to advertise and solicit mDNS information. Your mediatomb and PS3 are running software that does the same thing that Avahi does.
If running mediatomb avoids the necessity for Avahi, can you give a concrete example of a situation where Avahi _is_ needed?
