The issue is exactly that even if it works at some point it can break at
any FFmpeg change, and I won't check (and especially not immediately
fix) that before updating the default FFmpeg version specified in the
build repo. And users can use FFmpeg versions other than the default one
anyway.

Why did you enable it btw? I think lavcac3enc is one of the main reasons
people enable it, and that could be easy to fix to work reliably (so
that option isn't needed). Maybe I'll do that instead of fixing the
build with FFmpeg internals now.
