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 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.

This is an automatic update with manual merges of running
"make update" in the doc/plugins directory. This should help
later maintenance of the plugins doc. A lot of plugin are
not referenced yet in the doc. Will come later.
cvPyrSegmentation() has been deprecated in OpenCV 3.0, and there isn't any
function to replace it. Deleting this element so we can support OpenCV 3.1
without build issues.

New subclass with a similar behaviour as the old liveadder, but
a slightly different API as the latency is in nanoseconds, not
milliseconds. Also, the new liveadder has a effective latency that
is latency + output-buffer-duration. In practice, just setting a non-zero
latency with the new audiomixer gives you the right behavior in 99% of the
cases.
It's not developed any more and replaced by the
libschroedinger-based elements in gst-plugins-good.
(The libschroedinger 1.0.9 release notes state "This
is an exciting release: most of the encoding tools in
dirac-research have been ported over to Schrödinger, so
now schro has the same or better compression efficiency
as dirac-research.")
