Hi Ian,
What about using a media application like vlc (videolan) and joining a multicast group? I think you might be able to run it in command line mode, if you don't have an X server listening. This'll trigger your IGMP membership reports and respond to group queries.

Subject: [nznog] IGMP test tools
Hi all,
I'm looking for some linux test tools that I can run that will send IGMP
join commands and that will respond to IGMP queries (to keep the group
alive), that I can use to prove or disprove a sparse mode pim
configuration.
There's such a blatent lack of matches for anything like this on google
that I wonder if I'm overlooking some basic utility that is already
included with most distros or is built into the kernel, but I can't come
up with anything on that front either.
Using a Cisco router or switch as a multicast group member is a
possibility, but I'd rather use linux hosts if I can do so.
