Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ffmpeg

When converting .avi to .flv with
> ffmpeg -i test.avi -acodec mp3 test.flv

ffmpeg throws an error, and if you try it via
> ffmpeg -i test.avi test.flv

the output file has no sound.

Solution: 
- Update Ubuntu's ffmpeg to the current SVN version as it is proposed in many 
forums!
Current version:
:~$ ffmpeg -version

ffmpeg needs a build later than Oct. 2007 in order to convert .avi to .flv 
correctly as I've found out during my research.
Can't we replace the current "Jun  3 2007" version in the repositories with the 
newer one?
