Following the successful resolution of bug #966059 (thanks!), 
I wanted to install ffmpeg from experimental to try it out.
But that turned out to be impossible, unless I agreed to remove pulseaudio:

# aptitude install ffmpeg -t experimental
...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libavresample4 : Depends: libavutil56 (= 7:4.3.2-0+deb11u1) but 7:4.3.2-2 is to be installed
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

      Remove the following packages:                               
1)      libasound2-plugins [1.2.2-2 (now, testing, unstable)]      
2)      libavresample4 [7:4.3.2-0+deb11u1 (now, testing, unstable)]
...
5)      pulseaudio [14.2-2 (now, unstable)]                        
...

Pulseaudio depends on libasound2-plugins which depends on libavresample4.
I then found bug #971332 ("alsa-plugins: uses deprecated libavresample") and 
then saw "Added indication that bug 971332 blocks 971318"

What surprised me is that bug #971318 is marked as done, while not all of the
*blocking* bugs are resolved.
I assume consequently, the list with blocking bugs that are still open, 
including #971332, got removed. And after some time this bug will be archived.

Doesn't that conflict with the purpose of this bug (as stated on top)?

Cheers,
  Diederik
