Is there a build of Audacity for Ubuntu that can use a local version of FFMpeg?

Audacity builds on Ubuntu no longer support FFMpeg because of the libav foolishness.

Is there maybe a PPA or something with a build of Audacity that supports using a local build of FFMpeg? I could compile it myself, but it would be a set back in terms of being time consuming, especially if there are errors.

P.S.

Please do not suggest the nightly PPA, it doesn't support FFMpeg.

Looks like Audacity will actually build against ffmpeg-0.10.12. I have written it all up here:

Test it out and let me know if it all works out...
