Since xine-lib is now multistream capable, I think the separate 
subtitles should be played with an additional stream. I have this on my 
TODO list. The necessary work for that is:
* write a demuxer plugin for subtitle files
* turn the sputext decoder into a "real" decoder taking its data from
  the stream fifos and not from the input plugin by some crude hack
This is the cleanest and most flexible way. It will work with every 
format from every input.
Any help on this matter is always welcome.

Michael
