I see. But according rvm, SMPlayer is forced to emulate panscan and that
the correct behavior I seek cannot easily be replicated.

In this case, the proper behavior is that of MPlayer, where the
subtitles are not cut off.

The issue at hand is not the panscan itself, but how the subtitles are
treated during a panscan.
