Either by having ffmpeg from a non-stretch source (e.g. one of the
"multimedia" repositories), or by having libavcodec-extra57 instead
of libavcodec57. Note the " | " in that Depends line.

Even if the chance of it helping from the broken system is tiny, we
still face the fundamental problem that the OP is not providing ANY
information at all, so ANYTHING we can get would be an improvement.
Seeing "aptitude why libopenal1" from the working system may clue
the OP in with "Oh yeah, I did *that*, I forgot!" or whatever.
This may all help someone who's having a similar problem a year from
now and is reading this thread in the archives.
