On my server running Debian 8 with kernel 3.16.0-4-amd64 it works without the '-r' flag.
I actually wanted to remove that flag, but then it will break the scripts using it.
I will make a new release that ignores that flag but still accepts it as parameter, but runs always in raw mode.
I think this would be the proper approach.
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...
