All things related to multicast

["John I. Quebedeaux, Jr" <>]

Frank,

If you're able to install and run the client, the default should be the
video consumer to be on the default config, the OS X version is OK except
for the audio issues. Video should be ok.

There is a quickstart guide in the AccessGrid documentation that might help
you (I wrote it!) for OS X. Some folks have some install issues sometimes
depending on the particular OS version, etc.
