<para>The ioctls that deal with SPUs (sub picture units) and navigation packets are only
supported on some MPEG decoders made for DVD playback.

<para>
These ioctls were also used by V4L2 to control MPEG decoders implemented in V4L2. The use
of these ioctls for that purpose has been made obsolete and proper V4L2 ioctls or controls
have been created to replace that functionality.</para>
