I use to track upstream for the latest version (today's is 2.3.2), and usually download it and use the current slackbuild script (today it's for version 2.1.1) to build a package, using something like 'su -c "VERSION=v.v.v sh package.SlackBuild". Usually it works. But ffmpeg upstream developers made slight changes starting in version 2.3, and those changes is the subject I'd like to talk about.

Some slight changes in some copy commands were sufficient to make the script work again. Also, this new script was made compatible with versions prior to 2.3.
