I've been informed that the lack of ATSC captions stems from a lack of support in the FFMPEG used in XBMC. I'm requesting that FFMPEG be updated if that's the only thing holding this back.

I've never seen on-the-fly caption decoding from the video file working either with the built-in MythTV client or with MythBox but I was hopeful that now that MythTV support being claimed as "PVR quality" that it would work. I am working with the latest nightlies of XBMC coupled with the latest from Git repo and I don't see it working.
Is this kind of support even on the roadmap?
I could make a good argument for not supporting captions when MythTV support was claimed as "tangential" and not a primary function but now that the PVR capability (espescially Live TV) is being baked right into the heart of XBMC I (personally) see native closed caption support (eg, straight out of the video video on-the-fly) as a _must_.
