This version of the libavformat package is not included in debian and
known to break debian's copy of mplayer. I have read reports that it
also breaks vlc in a similar but less drastic way.

I have no solution to this other avoiding the ffmpeg packages from
debian-multimedia.org

Christian, could you perhaps rearrange your ffmpeg packages such that
they don't replace debian's system ffmpeg packages? I don't see any
other way to avoid breakage like this.
