Another thing that bears keeping in mind: sorting isn't consistent even
across demuxers that sort. Most sort by timestamp (SUB_SORT_TS_POS),
but vobsub sorts by byte position (SUB_SORT_POS_TS). It does this so as
to be able to merge split subtitles later, but it does then not sort by
timestamp after merging, as far as I can tell.

I'm a bit busy with other stuff in the coming days, but hopefully I
should be able to knock out a prototype by the end of the week that
still provides sorted subs when possible, except when the input is a
stream (which doesn't work now anyways).

This kind of nonsense is why being strict with input is a good idea.
