To all those who are disappointed now - or in the Future
========================================================

Sadly, this is once another feature from which FFmpeg 
developers are thinking that you should not have it.

I have tried my best, but I have no interest in endless 
arguing and upsetting everybody, so this feature dies 
here officially.

The good news is that when you compile for yourself, you
can still get it by reverting the revert commit, i.e. 
after checking out the current master, execute

git revert 79e2a845cd162696c7652bbb6cd407bfa24b738b


At some point, this may get broken, in that case you can
check out the previous commit:

git checkout 505510acdad5bc08b67e01d66c5b339c8fe27d39

but that will give you the state from May 16, 2025.


Eventually, I may check out the new "source plugin" 
mechanism, and provide the feature in a plugin branch,
so that you can add it via that way before compiling.


All the best,
softworkz
