We need latest x264 for current FFmpeg. I'll update it soon.

But libva is not in Fedora nor in RPMFusion yet, is it?

libvpx-0.9.1 fixes this. I've requested an update in Fedora:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=606002

Once that's done, it's a simple matter of adding the correct BuildRequires
and --enable-libvpx and it'll build just fine.

I guess this is it:
[0xb6c01380] stream_out_transcode stream out error: Failed to find conversion filter for channel mixing

I don't understand where it comes from. Please ask for "ffmpeg -i sourcefile" output.
