Description Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2016-11-16 13:45:33 UTC 
cdxparse, dccp, faceoverlay, hdvparse, mve, nuvdemux, patchdetect, sdi, tta, videomeasure, linsys, apexsink, nas, sdl, timidity, wininet, xvid, sndio, libvisual

At this point. Nobody ported them in the last 4 years, quite a few of them seem rather obsolete or useless nowadays. And if someone needs them, GIT never forgets. At this point it's just noise.

    Remove various unported plugins
    
    If they were not ported after 4+ years it seems unlikely that anybody is
    ever going to need them again. They're still in the GIT history if
    needed.
