That's nonsense, at least I think ID_SUBTITLE_ID is already _supposed_ to print 
what your new *_POS thing would print. The problem is that nobody has
come up with a solution for it yet. And possibly there just is no
solution except providing three different subtitle selection functions:
one for external vobs, one for embedded subs and one for external text
subtitles...
