Streamplayer doesn't run on Linux.  What can I say?

228.1.1.1 is in the IANA-reserved range so those sites with good multicast 
designs are blocking your traffic.  The rest of us receive it:-)  The reason to 
block reserved addresses is that a number of the recent windows viruses scan the 
entire IP address range including all multicast, so the more addresses you block 
from your campus, the fewer MSDP SA's you'll flood out when a scanner starts 
running.
