Well, i actually did find out the exact day when the change occured :

On 2005-10-24, in libvo/sub.c :

diff -Nur /tmp/sub.c-2005-10-23 /tmp/sub.c-2005-10-24

 int sub_visibility=1;

 int sub_bg_alpha=0;

Well, this change is actually easily solved by adjusting -subpos value,
so everything is ok again ;)

Thanks,
