OK, here's what I'll do: I'll put
	#ifndef <constant-name>
	#endif
around each of the four constant definitions.  That way, if anyone 
wants to change them, they can do so with their own definitions 
before including any of the liveMedia header files.  Then they won't 
need to patch the supplied source code at all.
