The namespace would allow us to get away from the define which is a text 
substitution and is what causes the clash.

However. What about something like

#if Defined(USE_LIVE555_NAMESPACES)
 # define OPENLIVENS namespace {
 # define CLOSELIVENS } // close namespace LIVE555
 # define LIVENS  LIVE555::
#else
 # define OPENLIVENS
 # define CLOSELIVENS }
 # define LIVENS
#endif

Then they do not exist unless you disable the #define USE_LIVE555_NAMESPACES in 
the main header

Subject: Re: [Live-devel] Breaking change

may be the easiest solution for such issue is to wrap all Live555 functionality 
in a namespace? And place "using namespace Live555;" somewhere in it's header.

Yes, that's certainly a possibility for the future.  To date, however, I've 
avoided using C++ namespaces, because I don't want to risk breaking older 
compilers that might not support them.
