I am all for it in principle, but there may be even better: libavformat has
recently gained the capacity to decode some text subtitles format (at least
ASS and SRT): rather than working on mplayer, you may want to try to port
the subtitles decoders that mplayer has and lavf does not have to lavf, and
then entirely rely on lavf in mplayer. On of the pros of this solution is
that lavf already has all the probe/init/read infrastructure designed.
