The parser takes a void * (not char * because it isn't restricted to 
one-byte encodings) and a size as parameter and is able to concatenate 
multiple blocks into one unit; that should be enough for 99.9% of all 
cases. As long as there is a way to access/pass these subtitles from/to 
a vf (didn't investigate it yet), it'll be easy to make it work...
