[MPlayer-users] Subtitles problem (especially in MPlayer-1.0pre7)

I have noticed that with several DVD:s actually having Finnish subtitles
(fi), MPlayer does not choose the right subtitle when trying to invoke it
with
$ mplayer dvd://1 -vo xv -slang fi
but often chooses a wrong text subtitle with Danish, Norwegian or Swedish
languages. In 1.0-pre5 and previous versions, this could be circumvented
by manually trying different numbers of subtitles like this
$ mplayer dvd://1 -vo xv -sid 0
$ mplayer dvd://1 -vo xv -sid 1
$ mplayer dvd://1 -vo xv -sid 2
$ mplayer dvd://1 -vo xv -sid 3
etc.
and often the Finnish subtitle actually appears on some number. With -pre7
however, the situation has worsened as it simply does not show some
subtitles which the -pre5 would show. For example, I yesterday watched
"Ripley's Game" DVD, where
$ mplayer dvd://1 -vo xv -slang fi
erroneously displayed the Danish subtitle in both -pre5 and -pre7.
$ mplayer dvd://1 -vo xv -sid 6
correctly displayed the Finnish subtitle in -pre5 but did not display any
subtitle in -pre7.
I apologize if this has been previously answered or already fixed in CVS.
