That's what i want to change. A demuxer should only say
"hey, i found a sub stream, let's pass it to the filter".
Ie look whether a sub render filter is already there,
if not load one, give some hints about the sub type if possible,
then pass the whole stream to it.

I'd like to do that, but as i said, i dont know much about
how filters should be done and what problems they have
(i dont even understand half of the code :(

Beside i'm already busy with the x11 changes
(Arpi: no, i dont think that a complete rewrite is necessary)
