Just so I'm understanding, I think the change you asking me to make
involves some or all of the following steps:

(1) change the existing webvtt demuxer to output packets that match their
embedded representation in WebM.

(2) change this Matroska demuxer patch to push webvtt frames downstream, as
is, in their embedded form.

(3) add a WebVTT codec that understands webvtt frames as embedded in a WebM
file, and converts them to some canonical text track format

(4) change the existing webm muxer to accept a new packet format

(5) change the existing webvtt muxer to accept a new packet format

Is my understanding correct?

I'm on vacation for a couple of weeks, so this work will have to wait until
I return.

No,  Just *.vtt and *.webm.
