Thanks for testing, committed with minor/cosmetic changes:

 2006-03-24  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>

        * gst/subparse/gstsubparse.c: (convert_encoding),
        (gst_sub_parse_change_state):
        * gst/subparse/gstsubparse.h:
          Text subtitle files may or may not be UTF-8. If it's not, we
          don't really want to see '?' characters in place of non-ASCII
          characters like accented characters. So let's assume the input
          is UTF-8 until we come across text that is clearly not. If it's
          not UTF-8, we don't really know what it is, so try the following:
          (a) see whether the GST_SUBTITLE_ENCODING environment variable
          is set; if not, check (b) if the current locale encoding is
          non-UTF-8, and use that if it is, or (c) assume ISO-8859-15 if
          the current locale encoding is UTF-8 and the environment variable
          was not set to any particular encoding. Not perfect, but better
          than nothing (and better than before, I think) (fixes #172848).
