Well, something neat I just tried that works is using the command line 
options to add subtitles to an audio stream;

xine something.mp3#subtitle:sub.file

Attached is one I just did this afternoon as a test, the mp3 can be had 
at http://frontalot.songhole.org/mc_frontalot_-_braggadocio.mp3


One thing I did notice is that if you skip ahead in the file, the 
timings seem to be a bit off? anyway, enjoy.
