FWIW, I try to look at the _multicast_ feedback as I can snarf it down here.
Typically I get Multicast RTCP receiver reports from 10's of receivers, which
suggests (as most players do not send RR's) a total multicast audience of order
100. At least some receivers tend to report low packet loss (typically order 1/2
of all reports say zero loss).
