[vlc] Multicast and IGMP reports

[Brasil, Vinicius]

While using VLC on Windows XP, I noticed that the streamer did not issue
reports, nor does the client.  Has anyone had any experience deploying
VLC for multicast on a Windows platform, and could verify if what I am
seeing is infact normal behavior for VLC, or am I missing something?

Also tried to compile newest version 0.6.2 for Freebsd 5.1 with no luck,
has anyone done this with success?

Any response will be greatly appreciated
