Perhaps you're using the same port number for different multicast 
streams?  You shouldn't do this.  Some OSs (e.g., some versions of 
Linux) have a bug that causes them to deliver packets intended for 
different multicast addresses to the same socket if they use the same 
port number.

To be on the safe side, when you have multiple multicast streams, you 
should use different multicast addresses, *and* different port 
numbers.
