On the other hand, I remember seeing a lot of ASS files from the fansub
world where titles, signs and karaokes are added at the end after the
dialogues, relying on sorting by the player.

(But I guess in the New and Improved FFmpeg, files originating from the
fansub world are not worth our time, it is enough to be able to decode
files for Crunchyroll…)
