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!
