So, mplayer thinks that there are finnish subtitles on sid 3, but
actually some swedish like are displayed instead. Again,
ogle/powerdvd/xine are able to find the correct channel for finnish
subtitles.

I have been trying to investigate this, and I think that in mplayer
libmpdemux/open.c those subtitle indexes are supposed to be one after
other (as in first second third etc.) which might be the case for well
authored dvd's, but as this isn't the first dvd I've encountered this
problem with, I think that it's a bug in mplayer.

I just actually found a workaround; in main/libmpdemux/open.c, if one
sets the total number of subtitle streams to 32 or 16 or whatever (in
this case I know from xine that finnish subtitles are at 6) and then
use mplayer dvd://1 -sid 6 then I get those finnish subtitles!

I have been staying up pretty late with this but hopefully the diff
below clears something up:

But I think that this problem would need a better fix than that ugly

Point taken, it's just so easy to forget proper quoting with this
