Experimental is configured with "NotAutomatic: yes" in Release file and
thus experimental package aren't upgraded automatically. So, this
configuration isn't possible for official packages :)

I use this pinning :
,----
| Package: *
| Pin: release o=Unofficial Multimedia Packages
| Pin-Priority: 1000
|
| Package: *
| Pin: release o=Debian
| Pin-Priority: 900
`----
and :
,----
| $ apt-cache policy ffmpeg
| ffmpeg:
| Installé : 5:0.6~svn20100726-0.0
| Candidat : 5:0.6~svn20100726-0.0
| Table de version :
| *** 5:0.6~svn20100726-0.0 0
| 1000 http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid/main Packages
| 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
| 4:0.5.2-2 0
| 900 http://ftp.fr.debian.org sid/main Packages

Tell me if this work or not. If this work I'll add that in my FAQ.
