Did compiling the libvpx code give warnings about
vpx_codec_vp8_dx_algo? (This is the linker not finding that symbol.) A
quick check in the libvpx repo tells me that symbol should still exist.
Perhaps your compile of libvpx went terribly wrong (which could explain
the missing of vp9).

To repeat only the build of libvpx support (and in order to see the
warnings again), do
$ rm -fv libavcodec/*vpx*.[do]
$ make
