The version currently in experimental should be new enough:

ffmpeg-debian | 0.svn20080206-15 |       testing | source
ffmpeg-debian | 0.svn20080206-15 |      unstable | source
ffmpeg-debian | 3:0.svn20090110-1 |  experimental | source

I intend to update ffmpeg-debian this week, enabling VDPAU and XVMC in
the 'non-free' variant, btw.

Surely we can update audacity in experimental?
