As described in the manual (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/fa ... tml#ffdown),
The optional FFmpeg library allows Audacity to import and export a much larger range of audio formats including AC3, AMR(NB), M4A, MP4 and WMA and also audio from most video files.
FFmpeg is not required for Audacity to work, only to add support for non-open file formats.
There are also some legal considerations if you want to use FFmpeg: http://www.ffmpeg.org/legal.html

Re: Audacity 2.0.5 compilation fails on Debian Squeeze
When volunteers have time to upgrade, or we could take another route and export/import using the FFmpeg compiled binary instead of loading version-specific dynamic libraries (but making that once-only change is also a big job).rulet wrote:When you planning to add support for newer versions of ffmpeg, at least that one which is in debian-multimedia repo for wheezy?
