Add a new possible value to the V4L2 API for embedded VBI data,
which allows for embedding of CC and teletext data in the userdata
section of the GOP. This allows for compatibility with applications
such as VLC which already have code to read captions out of the
userdata area for ATSC A/53 compliant streams.
This will be used by the cx18 driver to embed closed captions for NTSC
streams.

+format injects EIA-608 closed captions or Teletext into the Userdata GOP area

television streams in the United States).</para>
+ <para>This format is not as flexible as the IVTV format as it does not
allow for embedding of arbitrary sliced VBI data. However it does have the
advantage of being the same format used for ATSC digital television streams,
meaning any application which can render captions for digital streams should be
able to render captions for these streams as well with no additional code
changes.</para>
