as for the A-V-synch... I think there's nothing to it. It's hard to tell 
on some audio commentaries sometimes, and I got confused by the 
percentage used  (the last three percentages in the normal output), 
which rise way up after each chapter break (don't do so with -cache, but
seeking won't work with cache)

OTOH: subtitle display won't work *that* well. If I change the subtitle 
language (pressing j), I only see a few subtitles, then they don't 
appear anymore. I'm not sure if this happens along chapter breaks or if 
it is a common phenomenon... maybe after this night I'm a bit wiser.
