           Summary: Make the auto-join/auto-leaving of a multicast group
                    optional in multiudpsink
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-good

     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Currently, multiudpsink automatically joins/leaves a multicast group if a
multicast address is given to it. If the same socket is shared between a udpsrc
and a multiudpsink, that prevents me from controlling if packets are send to
multicast group indenpendently from the source.

I'm attaching a patch that add a auto-multicast property that controls whether
the element will do the joining itself or let the application do it.
