[gst-devel] UDPSRC BUG

[attaboy]

I can confirm that udpsrc is broken on Windows and I'm willing to test fixes. 
I've just spent more time than I'd like to admit trying to get a multi-cast
receive working on Windows XP using this simple pipeline:

gst-launch udpsrc uri="udp://224.1.2.3:1234" ! fakesink

I tried the 0.10.15 udpsrc plugin with this patch
(https://forja.rediris.es/forum/message.php?msg_id=180551) and had no
success with failure on the bind.  I backed up to 0.10.8 (before IP6
support) and still had failure on the bind.  I hard coded the local address
to INADDR_ANY right before the bind and success!  

/*    if (src->multi_addr.imr_multiaddr.s_addr)
      src->myaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = src->multi_addr.imr_multiaddr.s_addr;
    else */
      src->myaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;

I tried hardwiring INADDR_ANY with the patched 0.10.15 version and ran with
no crashes, but also received no data, so right now I'm back to 0.10.8.

Point me to some code/patches and I'll test on W2K3, XP and Windows 7.  I'm
building using the OSS build system as opposed to mingw, hopefully that's
not a problem.
