[Oleksiy-Yakovenko]

This is caused by the new ffmpeg which changed the API.
You have several options:

1. Don't build deadbeef manually, download the build from internet
2. Downgrade ffmpeg to previous version
3. Configure deadbeef build with --disable-ffmpeg options
4. Build deadbeef-git, since this issue has been resolved already
