yes, most probably. I do strongly believe that it is not necessary to
clean the source and rebuild *everything* from scratch because of the
additional codecs. I am sure it would be sufficient to back up the
regular built library and merely call ./configure and make again with
the extra rules to build the extra variant.

BTW, we are not talking about a single AMR encoder here:

$ LANG=C apt-cache show libavcodec-extra-56 
[...]
 This package is a replacement for the regular libavcodec56 library package;
 it contains the following additional codecs:
 .
  * OpenCORE Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) Narrow-Band (Encoder/Decoder)
  * OpenCORE Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) Wide-Band (Decoder)
  * Android VisualOn AAC (Encoder)
  * Android VisualOn Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) Wide-Band (Encoder)

So, please do not play down the importance of this additional package!

Thanks!

- Fabian
