It is unused and given that one needs an encoder to produce packets from AVFrames (as output by filters) this is likely to remain so, because FILTERDEMDECENCMUX is better for these scenarios. The only case where one can use filters without encoders is with the lavfi input device: It outputs AVPackets which could be copied without another conversion to AVFrames. Yet the variable to check for this is CONFIG_LAVFI_INDEV, but FILTERDEMDECMUX is designed to work with demuxers (i.e. CONFIG_*_DEMUXER). So there is no usecase for FILTERDEMDECMUX.
