[streaming] Re: Bug: bad ipv6 address in sap (vlc 0.8.6)

It should be "udp://[source_IPv6]@[ff15::feed:1]:1234" only for SSM.
For asm it should be as described by goldenear
"udp://@[ff15::feed:1]:1234".
Problem is that we never tell vlc it will be SSM or ASM so vlc will
not know which one to announce (except looking at group range : is it
in FF3x::/96?, RFC 3569)
