I don't know much about ffmpeg, it doesn't appear to be available via the yum package manager. From what I could find, it seems that the ffmpeg homepage is at http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/

RPMs for ffmpeg are available at http://dag.wieers.com/packages/ffmpeg/

Give CenttOS 4.4 a whirl!
You will not be sorry!

I seen where a lot of server management companies are charging big bucks for this, so this might save you some time and money.

First

nano -w /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo

Insert

[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1

Then yum update and search for ffmpeg and install all ffmpeg packages including devel.

Seems there is some lib problems along the way so in /etc/ld.so.conf

add

/usr/local/lib

then

ldconfig -v

To install the php extension follow the simple directions on http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net/

Then you should be all set!

Here is some guideline for you
You'll have to rebuild ffmpeg if you want that, so you'll need ffmpeg src.rpm[1], amr-nb[2] and amr-wb source[3].
[1]http://dl.atrpms.net/all/ffmpeg-0.4....524.at.src.rpm or
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/ffmpe...918.rf.src.rpm
[2]http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archiv.../26104-510.zip
[3]http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archiv.../26204-510.zip
It's been years since I used rpm-based distros, so you'll have to work out details yourself[4][6], but procedure is as follows: install src.rpm with rpm -ivv and check the output to see where it installed sources and spec file.
In this case source is ffmpeg-0.4.9 tar.bz2.
Extract it with 'tar -xjf ffmpeg-0.4.9.tar.bz2'.
Then unzip [2] to ffmpeg-0.4.9/libavcodec/amr_float, and [3] to ffmpeg-0.4.9/libavcodec/amrwb_float.
After that, recreate ffmpeg tarball with 'tar -cjf ffmpeg-0.4.9.tar.bz2 ffmpeg-0.4.9'.
Now, you'll have to edit spec file.
Open it in editor, and find %build section in it.
Add '--enable-amr-wb' as ./configure switch(amr_float is enabled by default)[5].
Save spec file.
Build and install it:

rpm -ba ffmpeg.spec
That's it.Hopefully
