Once you strip all timing metadata from the srt packets, there is nothing
special about the packet anymore, they are just pure text.
I would rather recommend to drop/deprecate CODEC_ID_SRT (its really more of
a container to store text with timing info in a plain-text file), and use
CODEC_ID_TEXT for all those cases.

Note that CODEC_ID_TEXT is not ttxt (as in MPEG4 Timed Text), thats
CODEC_ID_MOV_TEXT.
