If there's only a static lib then I guess it's fine. Is that the case on all major distros?
I just dug through a bunch of distros and no one ships ffmpeg by default. That includes Fedora 4, SuSE 9.2/9.3, Mandriva 10.1, and Slackware 10.1. It's marked "optional" on Debian sarge. I think I ran into this same issue with xine a while ago. I believe they ship ffmpeg, but can't remember.
SUSE does not ship it for the usual legal reasons.
I would suggest making this an addon package for distributions, to drop it right beside a normal WINE installation when needed. (with dlls and regsvr and .inf files or so).
