FFmpeg support a wide varity of network protools, from low level
tcp&udp to higher level http, ftp, rtp, rtsp, rtmp, mms, ...

the AGPL requires "if you modify the Program, your modified version must 
prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer 
network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive 
the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the 
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some standard 
or customary means of facilitating copying of software."

yet you here suggest to link AGPL software to GPL where the GPL sw
will not offer any source though any of its quite numerous network
interfaces

Iam no lawyer so i dont know if you can do that or not but
either the combination needs to offer source code through its network
protocols or you just suggested to circumvent your own licenses main
point

WIKIPEDIA DOES NOT GIVE LEGAL OPINIONS

Wikipedia contains articles on many legal topics; however, no warranty

no assurance that any statement contained in an article touching on legal 
matters is true, correct or precise. Law varies from place to place and it 
evolves over time—sometimes quite quickly. Even if a statement made about the 
law is accurate, it may only be accurate in the jurisdiction of the person 
posting the information; as well, the law may have changed, been modified or 
overturned by subsequent development since the entry was made on Wikipedia.

The legal information provided on Wikipedia is, at best, of a general nature 
and cannot substitute for the advice of a licensed professional, i.e., by a 
competent authority with specialised knowledge who can apply it to the 
particular circumstances of your case. Please contact a local bar association, 
law society or similar association of jurists in your legal jurisdiction to 
obtain a referral to a competent legal professional if you do not have other 
means of contacting an attorney-at-law, lawyer, civil law notary, barrister or 
solicitor.
