[Libav-user] decode/encode subtitles example

[Marco Gulino]

update: I found out what was giving the segmentation fault, I simply forgot
to do an avcodec_open2 on the output codec.
Now encoding to ASS format works fine, but SRT gives me no error, but no
output either (avcodec_encode_subtitle returns 0).
I guess it should have something to do with the AVCodecContext
configuration, but without an example, it's hard to find out what exactly
is the problem..
