hrm, well I'm using this on my myth frontend, so i have a wrapper
script to choose the subtitle language "automagically" which requires
"slang" so I can just use "eng" when the default language isn't "eng".
I'll try using "j" to see if its just a setup config problem. strange
that the ubuntu package works.

I'll also try Ulion's ideas.

thanks guys!
