There is a good reason to have some part of TCP implemented in FFmpeg
though. It would be _extremely_ useful to be able to read and replay pcap
dumps of an RTP stream, or an HLS or DASH stream, or whichever else
multi-connection streams are there.
There is also at least one demodulator already in FFmpeg, namely VBI bit
slicer (it is implemented through an external library though).
