iam not against including it at all, if its unmaintained outside and
not widely available and someone wants to maintain it in ffmpeg.

I mean if its usefull to us and would without action die, it surely
would make sense ...

some mails in this thread sound a bit in this direction but i do not
know ...

Its important that our code is feature complete in relation to what our users
expect.
I do not know how libzvbi compares here to the patch.

also my personal contact with teletext very very long ago didnt give me the
impression that it was complex. This may have changed so my view may be
drawn toward a misconception that this is not that complex ...
