Please sent requests to the list. You're not the first one today who
replied to me privately only.

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze-backports/amd64/libavformat53/filelist

The version installed to my daily used Linux, not Debian, doesn't use
it.

$ pacman -Qi audacity

I found this for Arch Linux:

"Package installation

Install ffmpeg from the official repositories.

Notable variants are:

ffmpeg-git  - Development version. It includes the Fraunhofer AAC codec
              as default.
ffmpeg-full - This version includes all codecs that due to license
              constraints are not in the official repositoies version,
              notably, the Fraunhofer AAC codec and the AAC+ codec.
libav       - Replacement fork. The binary it provides is called avconv
              instead of ffmpeg." -

Regarding to Debian's non-free policy,
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html , libav might
not provide the same codecs ffmpeg does. _But_ I don't know. I need to
do the same as you should do, search the web for answers. I'm not
interested in what Audacity does use for what distro ever. I'm only
interested in handling WAV files.
