    vcdsrc: Remove unusable VCD source · 2d5ed459
    Bastien Nocera authored
    The VCD source was ported in 2014 (commit 89eb1e9a), 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].
