BTW!
Instead of useless overlapping, etc subtitles support, I have a better idea.
Subtitles (TTF) should be automatically scaled according to movie width
(current method IMHO produces too big subs, but see below), and even
according to current panscan!! (Yes I know this isn't a simple thing to code,
maybe not even possible with current API?)

IMHO it would also be a very very nice feature if MPlayer could wrap subtitles.
I.e.: a long line of subtitle should be wrapped to 2 lines, _with each line
being equally wide_. AND, if they would be too wide, they should be wrapped to
3 lines instead (however this - currently frequent - ocassion would be nearly
made extinct if MPlayer could wrap&justify to 2 lines)

Why? Because for the eye it's extremely uncomfortable to read a line as wide
as the movie itself, especially if there is just _one_ more word in its
second line... Suboptimal.

Ok I shut up
