Yes, it's called the "Routing Table" of your IP stack. Just use a
seperate mcast group for each destination. And then add routes for the
specific group to the right interface. 

Plese note that the RTP module doesn't deal with deviating
crystals. Might not be that great on the long run for the real Hifi
experience.

Hmm? This makes no sense. Why would you use mcast then at all?
