I'm using a fresh SVN and fresh dvdnav2 (r940), internal dvdread and dvdcss.

when playing a DVD, I get the following:

Playing dvdnav://5.
get_path('sub/') -> '/home/alex/.mplayer/sub/'
libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 0.2.1cvs from http://dvd.sf.net

and specifying -alang en or -alang de on another disc (the example above
has only english)  plays only german all the time (which is the first
audio stream it finds).

I though can toggle through with the '#'-Button (but only after my dirty
hack on it - see older posting), but with -slang en I don't get any
subtitles. Only specifying e.g. -sid 10, I then can toggle through all
the subtitles up until 10, but the osd always says: unknown. Therefore I
concluded that mplayer with this dvdnav is currently not able to read
the audio/subtitle track information at all. There may well be other
causes for this behaviour though...
