Hmm, this definitely doesn't happen for DVDs. And for AVI, do you mean
external (SRT, etc.) subs, or internal ones? I didn't even know
MPlayer could support subs inside AVI files. If so, it's a new
feature, and it's a bug if it shows them by default. But for external
subtitle files, it's reasonable to show them by default, since the
user can just move/rename/not download the subtitle files if he/she
doesn't want to see them.
