[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] subreader: recode the whole file to utf-8 before parsing

[Evgeniy Stepanov]

Hi,

this patch changes the way subtitle recoding takes place. Instead of recoding 
each 'struct subtitle', the whole file is read into memory, recoded to utf-8, 
and a stream is created with new_memory_stream.

This patch was created as an attempt to resolve the problem with BOM in the 
beginning of a unicode subtitle file. The problem is not solved yet, but it 
is easy now, and will be done in a separate patch. As a side effect, which is 
arguably more important, it allows to read UTF-16 encoded subtitles.

Subtitle related code at the beginning of subreader.c is unused now and can be 
removed.

All in all, it seems like the right thing to do. Opinions ?
