[R-pkg-team] Bug#963153: ffmpeg breaks r-cran-av autopkgtest: error in 'avcodec_open2 (audio)': Invalid argument

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of ffmpeg the autopkgtest of r-cran-av fails in
testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of ffmpeg
from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing. In
tabular form:

                       pass            fail
ffmpeg                 from testing    7:4.3-2
r-cran-av              from testing    0.5.0+dfsg-3
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of ffmpeg to testing
[1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I filed this bug report against
both packages. Can you please investigate the situation and reassign the
bug to the right package?
