  I found this with the 0.8.6cvs included in the Ubuntu Edgy 
distribution. To get my streaming to work I had to use the 0.8.4 version 
from Dapper.

  It seems to be the SAP generator is broken in 8.6. Possibly it's 
trying to do/support 'source specific multicast', where an address pair 
IS used, but not quite getting the 'normal' multicast case correct.
