It might, but I have no idea how to make it do so. The MacTV
application could do this with this funkly little SDR-like tool.
However, AG isn't doing the SAP thing. Gotta have a way to specify the
host/port for the connection. Again, the codec is clearly there for
quicktime, but not clear how to get it to connect into a multicast group
so that we can make use of said codec. I'm hoping that there is either
a vic port *or* someone wrote a Quicktime-based vic replacement that
doesn't suck.
