That's odd - noone has reported this before.  (Perhaps Apple changed some 
of their headers in a recent OS X release??)

>Even better would be a namespace for liveMedia

For now, I don't want to start using relatively advanced C++ features like 
namespaces (or templates, or RTTI), because there are probably still 
development environments being used that don't support them (or support 
them in incompatible ways).  (I'm still catching grief over the handful of 
places in the code where we use C++ exceptions :-)
