[Cin] ffmpeg 6.1 is out!

[Phyllis Smith]

Downloaded it today and now am re-doing the patches so that there are no
"Hunk #1 succeeded at xxx (offset xxx lines)" warning messages.  Seems like
just about all of them are off so it will take me some time.  Did not
include patch10 and getting errors that are stopping the compile as shown
below.  This patch10 is more than I know how to fix.
