I don't believe this remotely qualifies as a mplayer question.  No
doubt mplayer works as every other network application on Unix systems,
and uses your system's routing tables.  

I believe multicast uses 224.*/8, so under Linux you'd add a route like
so:

  route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev eth1

which will tell EVERY PROGRAM on your system how to access multicast
addresses.
