 Well, actually theres the problem. I actually realized thats what I
 need to set. The problem is I'm not sure where to obtain that address.
 Note that I need not the address of the Ethernet port, but the address
 of the specific multicast stream being opened, and I can't quite
 figure out if/where that is being stored and/or if its being passed to
 the Groupsock functions. Does the live555 code handling the URL
 parsing, or is that handled elsewhere by mythtv?

 Eg, if we are opening udp://236.12.0.9:8208/ I need to know the 236.12.0.9
 similarly, if udp://236.12.0.23:8208/ I need the 236.12.0.23
