IP multicast. Meaning to have for instance one mms server who send's
each datagram only once to an ip multicast address and the network
delivers it to everbody who wants to listen.

As far as I understood the mms protocol is both multicast and unicast
capable. I am interested in the multicast version. It's just better for
general network performance if you have many clients and the stream is
transmitted only once.

And when I'm not completely too stupid to read the documentation mplayer
isn't capable to subscribe to ip multicast groups so it can receive
multicast streams at all.
