You might not have noticed but in ffmpeg 0.11, they removed a lot of functions and structs that were marked as deprecated in the ffmpeg in [extra] so any packages that still use that deprecated stuff won't build anymore unless they're patched. As expected, this will take more time than a simple rebuild. My remaining package (sox, electricsheep) don't build and I haven't found any patches online. Is there documentation on how to port to the newer API? There are hints in the header files but I got stuck. Electricsheep build but doesn't work, probably because of the line I removed without replacing it (I don't know how to replace it), so I'll need to do more work on the patch. If someone knows about this stuff, I could post my current patches.
