I'm not following the issue here.  When calling fi_getinfo(), are you specifying FI_SOURCE, setting node to NULL, and passing the port as the service?

That should create a wildcard listen address.  You can print the resulting fi_info structures to see if a specific IP address has been assigned or not as a src_addr.

I didn't follow this.
