The VCD source was ported in 2014 (commit 89eb1e9), but the necessary
"cdxaparse" plugin, which is used to "Parse a .dat file (VCD) into
raw mpeg1" was never ported.
This means that the probable main user for the feature, totem, hasn't
actually been able to play back VCDs, since 2012, when it switched to
using GStreamer 1.0.
Note that even if cdxaparse was finally ported, a lot of work would
still be necessary before it is considered usable. Notably, it is
missing disc image support [1] and some VCDs just cannot be opened for
reading [2].

This is a simple Bin that will expose audiotestsrc or videotestsrc
based on what is asked by the user either through the GstURIHandler
API or through the "stream-types" property.
This element also provides GstStream and GstStreamCollection
so it is nicely usable from playbin3.

This regression was caused by the renaming of plugin-sdp into
plugin-sdpelem. The doc reference needed an update. Also, add the old
xml to the cruft file list.

This element transforms a given number of input channels into a given number of
output channels according to a given transformation matrix. The matrix
coefficients must be between -1 and 1. In the auto mode, input/output channels
are automatically negotiated and the transformation matrix is a truncated or
zero-padded identity matrix.

If they were not ported after 4+ years it seems unlikely that anybody is
ever going to need them again. They're still in the GIT history if
needed.

This was used by MSN messenger in prehistoric times, it's safe
to say no one needs or wants this any more these days. For
decoding old recordings there's still a decoder in ffmpeg.

It only offers one metric for now, "dssim", available if
https://github.com/pornel/dssim was installed on the system
at the time the plugin was compiled.
The spearman correlation for dssim against the TID2008 dataset
is 0.81, against 0.70 for the old ssim implementation, and
it runs 15 times faster.
