This broke the vlc build with the following error:
checking for AVCODEC... yes
configure: error: libavcodec versions 56 and later are not supported yet.
See:
http://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/vlc-2.1.4.x86_64-linux
http://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/vlc-2.1.4.i686-linux
I tried upgrading vlc to the latest release (2.1.5), but it didn't help:
http://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/vlc-2.1.5.x86_64-linux
http://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/vlc-2.1.5.i686-linux
Two solutions come to mind:
* Add an alternate 'ffmpeg-2.3' package (in addition to 2.4.x) for use
by vlc.
* Look for upstream vlc patches that fix this problem.
Jason, would you like to look into it?

I fixed this by adding ffmpeg-2.2 and using it for vlc, in commit
f9e687b51aafaa160b3c361c801ec5823dbef2f0. I'm closing this bug now.
