This set looks reasonable to me at this point; the one thing blocking it is the issue with assenc.c muxing for AVSubtitles with multiple rects, which needs a decision on this question: http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2023-February/306850.html

Once that's resolved, I'm happy to merge this.
