intrr at time:~$ grep FFMPEG_VERSION_INT /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avcodec.h
#define FFMPEG_VERSION_INT     0x000409

I'm not the one to decide this - but I have seen various API incompatibility
problems in the past with other libraries that Blender uses - most prominent
example (as everyone will agree) - OpenAL ;-)

So, for *me*, it is totally obvious that one specific version of ffmpeg
should be included with blender. Blender has been known to be a single,
monolithic application that works out of the box for everyone - independant
of the libs (and worse, lib versions) installed on the system.

But, as I said - that's for Ton to decide.
