FFmpeg (both through libvpx as well as through ffvp9) does support scalable
decoding (that is: decoding of frames using references of different
dimensions). It doesn't support multiple layers, because we don't have an
API for that. We don't have an API because nobody wrote it yet.

As for encoding, the answer is pretty much identical.

If you have a use for it, implement it and send a patch.
