Maybe. Could you please check your ffmpeg-version using

grep FFMPEG_VERSION_INT /usr/include/ffmpeg/avcodec.h

and mail it to me? I'm still trying to make the code work with most
versions of ffmpeg. If you want to get ffmpeg working right away, try
latest CVS of ffmpeg.

I tried, but then noticed, that I'd have to include a version for every
single glibc-version on Linux thereby bloating the libs by around 5MB per
glibc-version. If this is the way to go, I can contribute libc-2.3.2-i386
...

(Correct me, if I'm wrong. If it is sufficent to include one version in
a directory called "linux-i386" then I'll do it.)

Other idea was: disabling ffmpeg by default and let the user decide.

You can do this already by setting the NAN_NO_FFMPEG switch to "true" in
your user-def.mk
