Signalr self-hosted Hub in an Azure Web Job requires elevation?

Question

I'd like to use a SignalR self hosted project in a continuous Azure Web Job. But when I attempt to run it, I get the following error:

[07/11/2014 10:58:44 > cbec50: SYS INFO] Status changed to Running
[07/11/2014 10:58:45 > cbec50: ERR ] Unhandled Exception: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: 
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Net.HttpListenerException: Access is denied

I suppose the console app needs to run with elevated rights. Is there any way to get this to work?

Prerequisites:

Install-Package Microsoft.Azure.Jobs -pre
Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.SelfHost

Full source:

using System;
using Microsoft.Azure.Jobs;
using Microsoft.Owin.Hosting;
using Owin;

namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
    class Startup
    {
        public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
        {
            app.MapSignalR();
        }
    }

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (WebApp.Start<Startup>("http://localhost:8080/"))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Server running at http://localhost:8080/");

                var host = new JobHost(); 
                host.RunAndBlock();
            }
        }
    }
}

Got a response from David Ebbo (@davidebbo):

"...you can only listen on a port through IIS. 
WebJobs are more to do work and not run services."

I had considered web jobs as a good way to host a Signalr Hub without the an entire website footprint, but I'll need to find an alternative.
