I am aware about live555.com library (used for testing) and I explain
why we will never use it:
 - the library is written in C++ (not good for embedded devices)
 - we want to limit the number of dependencies to build DirectFB
 - the library only supports the standard RTSP protocol, while
   the implementation in direct/stream.c supports both standard
   and RealMedia protocols
 - the implementation in direct/stream.c is really compact (in size)
   and however you can disable building the code by disabling
   network support (./configure --disable-network)
