The code you mention was just a hack to allow faster track switches
(i.e. from one audio track to another of the same file). For audio/video
this did not work very well, for subtitles it did. That's why it is
enabled for subtitles but not for the others.

This still has to be ported properly to the new features in 1.x, which
should make this much less hackish. Might need some API additions
though.
