Update: ralphy was able to build squeezelite 1.9.7-1256 (with ffmpeg/WMA) for me using his old tool chain. So we are good now for 1.9.7-1256 in SLX. (He currently can't build ffmpeg into squeezelite using the new tool chain, as I understand it.) The old tool chain only produces 32-bit, but I don't consider that a problem at this point. Thanks, ralphy!
