There is no support to UDP multicast in QT4.5 according this bug issue : http://www.qtsoftware.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?method=entry&id=57952.

But it's possible to use "setsockopt()":http://linux.die.net/man/2/setsockopt with _QAbstractSocket::socketDescriptor()_. See http://linux.die.net/man/7/ip and options for multicast like _IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP_.
