I guess I'll answer my own question. This seems to be the most common 
approach:

- name: build ffmpeg

  command: chdir=/var/tmp/ffmpeg-0.11 {{ item }}

  with_items:

  - sudo ./configure --enable-libmp3lame

  - sudo make

  - sudo make install  PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin


If you need env variables set for a specific step, you can add them on the

command line as I've done with the PATH above.  The PATH is changed only for

the 'sudo' (e.g. root) environment.
