Dominik in private also said I can push the stuff once mplayer finished.
So I did a few hours ago. Now I get this on my rawhide system:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Guess lot's of other will run into this to. So who is going to fix this
quickly? And how do we handle things like this more gracefully in the
future without annoying our users each time?


Site note: not even all packages from the earlier x264/ffmpeg update
round got fixed in between:

package: ultrastardx-1.1.1-1.7.20090411.fc11.x86_64 from
rpmfusion-free-rawhide
  unresolved deps:
     libavutil.so.49()(64bit)


Sure, that's mostly a problem of the ultrastardx maintainer. But if such
big updates like the earlier one for ffmpeg are done only very weeks
before a new release then the ones that update ffmpeg IMHO should help a
bit more to keep the repo in a sane state to allow testing of both
Fedora and RPM Fusion.

P.S.: Thinks like this really make me want to quit RPM Fusion, as they
happen way to often and annoy me more and more...
