Yeah, got that if I switched to a newer version of ffmpeg I'd need to
recompile squeezelite. I was more concerned with backward compatibility
for other packages. ie. not sure what other packages depend on ffmpeg.
Would be trying to get away with not needing to re-compile any other
packages that use ffmpeg-libs. Suppose I could package ffmpeg v2 to
install alongside ffmpeg v1.2. Is it worth the effort. WMA is flawless
with ffmpeg v2? ;)
