when discontinuities are allowed, then they likely are also allowed
between subtitle packets (but if you disagree, feel free to quote the specs,
id be happy to hear what they say ...),
thus whichever way is used to detect them, the detection should
be needed between subtitle packets as well.

a check for AVFMT_TS_DISCONT is correct, one for subtitles is not AFAICS.
The real question is what do the dvbsub/dvdsub specs say about
discontinuities?

PS: yes, links to the dvd/dvb sub specs are welcome ...
