It guesses the subtitle charset :) Eg. for Czech it can automagically 
select win1250, iso8859-2 or utf8. I would commit the manpage change, 
but the docs CVS appears to be locked.

+.B \-subcp enca:<language>:<fallback codepage> (ENCA only)
+If MPlayer has been compiled with ENCA charset autodetection library,
+you can specify your language using two letter language code. If
+unsure, enter anything and watch mplayer -v output for available
+languages. Fallback codepage specifies the codepage to use, when the
+autodetection fails.

+latin 2, if the detection fails
+.br
+.IPs "\-subcp enca:pl:cp1250"
