Description Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2012-01-13 10:32:18 UTC 
Hi,

for GStreamer we need some support for letting a GSocket join or leave multicast groups. GNet has something for this, e.g. gnet_mcast_socket_join_group(). Maybe there should be a GSocket subclass for multicast instead of only adding some functions to GSocket though.
Comment 1 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2012-01-13 10:37:30 UTC 
For multicast, things like IP_MULTICAST_LOOP and SO_BROADCAST would be useful to have too.
Comment 2 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2012-01-13 10:40:31 UTC 
...and IP_ADD_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP (and the IPv6 equivalent) for source specific multicast.
