audacity in karmic, ffmpeg source to package

OPEN ISSUE: below steps didn't work. removed everything afterwards.

had another steep learning curve to get a simple thing done here.
making audacity work and import audio from a video (mp4) file. it complained about not having ffmpeg.

wish the ubuntu guys would get their act together - if you already have a package in the repository, why do you have to download SOURCE, then COMPILE, then do all these geeky stuff? all the more intimidating for the millions of computer users out there.
