0mq does not but OpenPGM does.  The limitation is the transport
specification and how to incorporate the semantics of SSM.

Suggestions welcome, or you could maybe patch in a new 0mq socket option to
add SSM support: you can add new sources to PGM at any time:

pgm_setsockopt (sock, IPPROTO_PGM, PGM_JOIN_SOURCE_GROUP,
&group_source_req, sizeof (group_source_req)


OS limitations may prevent joining a SSM group after a ASM group:

Possible new super-terse syntax:

pgm://eth0;[ff08::1]@[2a03:2880:10:1f02:face:b00c::25],[ff08::1]@[
2a03:2880:10:1f02:face:b00c::26];[ff08::2]
