I finally got this working. I had to make some changes to the ssc-ffmpeg.c file, but now it works with Amarok or iTunes (8.1 on a Mac) as the client. I'm attaching my patched source file. It involved changing the call to avcodec_decode_audio to avcodec_decode_audio2 and initializing the buffer size parameter passed to those calls.
