I don't think anybody is working on CC/Teletext decoders. It may be that 
Derk-Jan was looking at it at some point so he might have some insight on 
how to implement such a thing.
AFAIR one of the problematic things was that CC data is stored as private 
data in the MPEG video elementary stream and there isn't currently any 
clean way to retrieve this information with the VLC architecture we've got 
(hacking the mpeg video decoders is a possibility but this isn't what I 
would call clean).
