I should also point out that the reason for allowing SO_REUSEPORT (on datagram sockets; not stream sockets) is to allow other applications - running on the same host - to also receive this incoming RTP or RTCP packets, e.g., for monitoring purposes.  I’m not going to remove this code just because some random old ‘Android’ devices don’t like it.
