hmm, it should work, the dvd CC subs work the same way.
could you send me the patch, so i can look at it?

if you can print timestamp, duration (or end timestamp) and text to screen
with printf in demux_ogg, it's enough for me, i can complete/fix the supoprt.

anyway the more cleaner way is building subtitle stream, so send sub packets
to the demuxer queue (just like in demux_mpeg), and add some field/type info
describing the format of subtitle stream (now it's assumed to be SPU).
it's not trivial to implement, though.
