It's been replaced by NVENC/NVDEC and even NVIDIA doesn't
support VDPAU any longer and hasn't for quite some time.
The plugin has been unmaintained and unsupported for a very
long time, and given the track record over the last 10 years
it seems highly unlikely anyone is going to make it work well,
not to mention adding plumbing for proper zero-copy or
gst-gl integration.

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].

ACM is an ancient legacy API, and there's no point in
keeping it around for a licensed mp3 decoder now that
mp3 patents have expired and we have a decoder in -good.
We didn't ship this in cerbero anyway. If there's a good
case for the AAC encoder (which is LC only anyway) someone
should write a new plugin based on current APIs, that can
actually be built out of the box.

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 is simple video sink that use libdrm/libkms API to render frames.
The element uses planes to render through drmModeSetPlane().
It has been tested in an Exynos4412 board and in a Freescale I.MX6 board.

This API has been deprecated for eternities and microsoft
stopped shipping the headers in 2010 accoding to wikipedia,
so let's just remove it and focus on bringing the plugins
based on the newer APIs up to snuff.
Provides the following elements:
qtkitvideosrc: OS X video source relying on the QTKit API. Comes with
hard-coded caps as the API does not provide any way of querying for
formats supported by the hardware. Hasn't been tested a lot, but seems
to work.
miovideosrc: OS X video source which uses the undocumented/private
CoreMediaIOServices API, which is also the one used by iChat.
Present on latest version of Leopard and all versions of Snow Leopard.
Has been tested extensively with built-in cameras and TANDBERG's
PrecisionHD USB camera.
vtenc, vtdec: Generic codec wrappers which make use of the undocumented/
private VideoToolbox API on OS X and iOS. List of codecs are currently
hard-coded to H.264 for vtenc, and H.264 + JPEG for vtdec. Can easily be
expanded by adding new entries to the lists, but haven't yet had time to
do that. Should probably also implement probing as available codecs depend
on the OS and its version, and there doesn't seem to be any way to
enumerate the available codecs.
vth264decbin, vth264encbin: Wrapper bins to make it easier to use
vtdec_h264/vtenc_h264 in live scenarios.
iphonecamerasrc: iPhone camera source relying on the undocumented/private
Celestial API. Tested on iOS 3.1 running on an iPhone 3GS. Stops working
after a few minutes, presumably because of a resource leak. Needs some
love.
Note that the iOS parts haven't yet been ported to iOS 4.x.
