There is more than one way to do it :) Basically there are three things you need to accomplish: A. automatic login for a specific user[1] B. automatic start of X C. start of the application you want (and nothing else) A. and B. are easily solved with nodm. For C. the typical advice is to use ~/.xinitrc, but I prefer to add the program as the default alternative to x-session-manager (see the manpage for update-alternatives). [1] as far as I can tell, that user should be locked down. At a minimum create a new user and add to other groups (like audio) only if really needed.
