Thank you Benjamin!  That was a lot of information.  I will need to sort
it out now and run some tests.  I am sure I will come back and ask more
questions after my tests. :)

Just one thing:

I have re-read the howto and the user manual once more.  But even now
that I have read through the article to which you referred, I still
don't see how this can deduced from the documentation.

Examples:

Howto chapter 6:

   192.168.0.12 is:
     - either the IP address of the machine you want to unicast to

User-Manual chapter 4, section "std":

   {url} if you use file access, it will be the location where to store
         the stream; if you use another access, it will be the unicast
         or multicast IP address where you want to stream

User-Manual chapter 4, section "rtp":

   {dst} destination ip address


So everywhere it states that the given address/port is the _destination_.
But nowhere is described how to specify the _source_.

Am I just misunderstanding?  Could it be that the documentation is
outdated?
