[MPlayer-dev-eng] OGM, subtitles and documentation

Hi!

I've just been playing around with OGM files to see how they behave
with regard to subtitle and audio tracks.  I tried the following
sample:

http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/samples/ogg/DShow-NEW/bgc.sub.dub.ogm

It contains English and Japanese audio as well as English subtitles.

Now the problem is that MPlayer does not print any information about
the audio and subtitle streams, I just tried different values for -sid
and -aid.  I'm writing this since the Matroska demuxer does print such
information:

[mkv] Track ID 1: video (V_MS/VFW/FOURCC), -vid 0
[mkv] Track ID 2: audio (A_AAC/MPEG4/LC/SBR), -aid 0, -alang jpn
[mkv] Track ID 3: audio (A_VORBIS), -aid 1, -alang eng
[mkv] Track ID 4: subtitles (S_TEXT/UTF8), -sid 0, -slang eng
[mkv] Track ID 5: subtitles (S_TEXT/UTF8), -sid 1, -slang ger

Furthermore it is even stated in the man page that MPlayer will print
information about this when run in verbose mode.  IMO what should be
fixed here is the implementation rather than the documentation.

Moritz would you care to give this a shot?

Diego
