FWIW -- check out:

multiplatform (mac, widows, linux binaries available), easy to use 
(even I can do it),
all the major codecs, same app to source and to receive mcast and its 
free.

I have been able to source a DVD and receive that transmission as if it
were playing locally.  I don't want you to think it doesn't have bugs, 
but
they've been releasing new versions every two weeks.

I have high hopes.  Once folks see it is possible, then they'll start
looking for better content rather than worry about the application.
