Absolutely: VLC

You can source just about anything and send it out via IPv4 or IPv6
unicast and/or multicast. even multiple streams at the same time.
You can even receive a unicast stream and convert it to a multicast
stream
On those hosts (windows) that support IGMPv3 the manual says:
To receive a SSM (source specific multicast) stream, you can use:
% vlc udp:server_address@multicast_address[:server_port]
This is a very nice application and it is free.
