No, "-DUSE_SYSTEM_RANDOM=1" is no longer necessary, because that is 
now the default behavior.  Therefore, there should no longer be any 
need for "live-config.patch".

No, you can remove that, provided that you also change all 8 occurrences of
	9999999999
in "live555.cpp" to
	1199404800

(As I've noted in the past, I'd really like to see us mandate a 
minimum required LIVE555 version for "live555.cpp", so we can remove 
many of those ugly
	#if (LIVEMEDIA_LIBRARY_VERSION_INT
lines.)
