I think this patch set can be applied independently from your patch.
If you want to export ARIB captions to ASS format, specifying
`-ass_single_rect true` is sufficient as a tentative solution.
Of course positioning information would be lost, but is valid ASS format.
Your patch has worth to improve the output, but it can be resolved later.
