  I just checked the latest live555 (live.2017.01.26) and it does not
have the RTSPCLIENT_SYNCHRONOUS_INTERFACE compatibility #define .

  As I mentioned above, according to my research in the Debian git, it
was removed in live.2013.10.25 release.

  So I guess it is either implementing the new API or dropping live555
support.

  I could also imagine to accept a patch like yours and have it working
with live555 versions before live.2013.10.25 . Though actually I am not
much in favor of that as it kind of would "promote" using out of date
version of dependencies.
