[Live-devel] Comment out our_srandom()

[Florian Winter]

hi!

compile the LIVE.COM library with -DUSE_SYSTEM_RANDOM and the problem 
should go away ... however this might only work under linux or anywhere 
where the random() function is available...

we had the problem too (under Linux) but did not try to find the cause 
for it. maybe it has something to do with multithreading? our 
environment is multi-threaded and we use multiple liblive flowgraphs 
simultaneously...
