VLC seems to be working:
I'm using a VLC on system #1 to transmit an audio file on
239.255.12.42 and the multicast receive is working on a second system.

rkulagow@gk4:~$ netstat -gn
IPv6/IPv4 Group Memberships
Interface       RefCnt Group
--------------- ------ ---------------------
lo              1      224.0.0.1
eth0            1      239.255.12.42
eth0            1      224.0.0.251
eth0            1      224.0.0.1
lo              1      ff02::1
eth0            1      ff02::1:ffb3:364c
eth0            1      ff02::1
wlan0           1      ff02::1

I can hear audio coming out of the speaker on the second system, and a
wireshark capture shows packets are being transmitted on 239.255.12.42

So the multicast portion of the OS and the network infrastructure seem
to be working OK.
