Found the same problem with udpsrc, it only seems to be an issue with windows.
The bind is failing when the source address is a multicast group, due to
(probably) some anomaly with the windows stack. The generally accepted solution
under windows is that the bind address should be set to INADDR_ANY.

I have attached a proposed patch that fixes up the bind address for windows
builds when a multicast group has been specified.

Note that I've also had to stop the getsockname from being called for multicast
addresses otherwise the INADDR_ANY bound to the socket is read back, when we
really want to keep hold of the multicast group for the subsequent 'join'.
