Yeah - it's great to see progress on subtitles after the last person to
touch them slacked off so badly. *ahem*

A question for the autoplugging guys: I don't know how to get the
autoplugging bits to know which overlaying element to use for subtitle
streams (or for providing OSD at some point too, I guess). Is this something
that we can do with specialised overlay elements like the ones Dave
mentioned?
