Where is the source of your ffmpeg? I assume it's a stock install from
ubuntu, and not from medibuntu -in fact, apt-cache policy ffmpeg
indicates that it comes from ubuntu directly.

This brings up a possibility - get the original latest ffmpeg source
from www.ffmpeg.org (or even svn) and compile it yourself, and set
(--enable) the codec support you need. I don't know whether ffmpeg
will support amr.

I have a local svn repository here, initially installed for other
unrelated reasons, but I haven't had a pressing need to keep it
updated. I just reran svn up and now it won't comple :(.

I think there are two other possibilities - inquiring directly on
either the ffmpeg mailing list or the linux-audio mailing list. Their
subscription addresses should be easy to find.
