I've never used PPP to directly tunnel multicast, although the tun0 interfaces appear to have the MULTICAST flag set. The configuration we use here at NAI Labs is to use IP in IP tunneling between sites, and IP multicast over ethernet multicast on local area networks, which works quite well. We use this specifically for video multicast, since we are generally relying on the phone networks to do audio still for latency reasons.
