There is an mpv package compiled against ffmpeg in experimental (the version is
0.6.2-2+ffmpeg). You may want to try that, however it's not possible to have it
in unstable (and thus testing) yet.

Unfortunately the patch doesn't seem to be merged upstream yet so this may take
a while.

Still, it's a libav bug, hence reassigning.
