that's giving grief, so I confidently copy your message to respond to.

Given the Xine has no way to decode just subtitles, I suppose this
means he'd have to add the functionality to like phonon-xine. Perhaps
he could do it in a such a way that it'd be easy to add to other
phonon backends.

Perhaps the ability to drag around subtitles could be in the frontend at least?
