Fixed in 2.1 release. See e.g. here: http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2013-July/146449.html

OK. So it confirmed my guess about libavcodec API/ABI recent changes (from 54 to 55) which caused several packages depend on ffmpeg failed to build. (e.g. alsa-plugins, see https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478084)

I'll revert to mask ffmpeg-2.0.

Thanks!

vlc-2.1.0_pre2.ebuild

Quickly hacked ebuild for vlc-2.1.0_pre2, builds against ffmpeg-2.0

Comment 6 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-11-04 09:59:35 UTC 
Should be fixed now that vlc-2.1.x is in the tree.
Comment 7 Tomasz Golinski 2014-06-03 17:42:51 UTC 
The bug is still not resolved as the latest stable vlc: media-video/vlc-2.0.7 has incorrect dependences and won't build with media-video/ffmpeg-2.0. Ebuild should explicitely depend on earlier version of ffmpeg or at least spill out ewarn.
Comment 8 Tom Wijsman (TomWij) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-06-03 19:16:02 UTC 
This is pending stabilization, see bug #499806; the current stable ebuild breaks compatibility over and over again, as its dependencies are getting bumped.

Comment 10 Paweł Stankowski 2014-11-09 00:04:56 UTC 
Please close this bug.

All pre-2.1.2 VLC versions are masked and will be removed from tree because of security bug 499806. Currently stable is 2.1.5.
