Ok, the multicast mode of course is a good thing, but it has caused some strange behaviour
in the past. You could of course keep the old code in there using some #ifdef option for those
that want to try it. Or introduce a new flag that switches from raw to multicast mode.
Raw mode always works, but in some cases may have some more CPU overhead. Not sure
if it is a noticable difference...
