It will definitely not happen before 3.5 is released upstream. After
that I would like to get the majority of the FTBFS bugs fixed before
starting the transition. My current guess is sometime in March or April.

Thanks. I made one comment on the pull request about handling older
FFmpeg versions correctly. Apart from that I think the PR is fine.

 Hello audacity developers,

 current audacity release doesn't build with upcoming ffmpeg 3.5.
 As we in debian build audacity against system-wide ffmpeg it can be
 serious problem in near future
 and audacity might be removed from debian archive.

James, let me update that:

One of our contributors has already offered fixes for this, which was much
less code than I feared.  It has not yet been merged into our master
branch, but it is probable that it will be for version 2.2.2.  It should be
compilable either with FFmpeg version 3.5 header files or earlier.  Please
fetch this commit from his fork and see if it's good enough for your
purposes.

​Hi James,

audacity devs already are working on ffmpep 3.5 support ​... but it will
not probably go to upcoming release.
When do you plan ffmpeg transition ?
