It seems that ffmpeg is actually being deprecated in debian 7. We should be switching to use avconv. But there is a convoluted set of dependencies in the current netgear distribution that prevents me from installing libav-tools which contains avconv. Doing so would uninstall a pile of important stuff and I'm wary of doing so. But quick solution:
Download 64-bit static build of ffmpeg from here: http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/
Remove whatever you have in /apps/subsonic/transcode
Unpack the static tar into /apps/subsonic/transcode
(If it creates a subdirectory move the files up a level so that ffmpeg is in the transcode directory.)
