Ah, ok.

Btw, quoting from www.ffmpeg.org...

FFmpeg has removed support for libamr as of svn revision 19365. It has
been replaced with support for libopencore-amr. Naturally the
configure options have changed. The libamr options have been removed
and there are two new options to take their place:

* --enable-libopencore-amrnb
* --enable-libopencore-amrwb

The reason for this change is that the libamr license was non-free,
while libopencore-amr is licensed under an Apache 2 license. The
change was discussed at length on the developer mailing list during
May, June, and July [1]. This has several effects:

* You may now distribute FFmpeg builds with support for dynamically
loading libopencore-amr
* Support for AMR-WB encoding has been removed since libopencore-amr
does not support it
