[MPlayer-dev-eng] [RFC] fixing SUB_SELECT

Hey,

That's what I'd prefer. If mplayer had a proper subtitle queue then
there would (probably) be only one, too.

Sounds fine to me. SUB_SELECT should just switch through all available
subs wherever they come from, so I agree with what you're proposing. I
think the order is more or less important:

1) The subs chosen with -sub or -vobsub,
2) The subs from the container,
3) The subs found automatically by trying different extensions.

But maybe that's just me ;)
