[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] default multicast to socket reuse

[David Fries]

Please disreguard the last patch and use this version instead.  I
realized that as it was coded reuse without =1 would have previously
would enable socket reuse where now it would be disabled as strtol
returns 0 when the string is empty as it is in that case.
