an option to specify additional subdir(s) sounds fine. most people just
symlink movies/sub to ~/.mplayer/sub but i can see that being a problem
for some users. its probably best not to remove ~/.mplayer/sub for
backwards compatability. just an additional sub path search.

i hope we wont be adding options for everyones' silly movie setups.
