Thinking out loud: Maybe you could run your third-party broadcasters from a little wrapper that drops privileges & capabilities, except CAP_NET_BROADCAST? You'd still need root to begin with, but the actual software would then run unprivileged.
That could be an option. The trick is to know all the privileges one now has that are not needed. To miss any would be sloppy. It would be useful to be able to set the privileges to a non root level and then add the ones wanted. Thanks for the link. Always something new to learn.
