Doing sub_load will just load it in addition, it will not replace it.
You need to switch to the newly loaded subtitle, too.
To avoid memory leaks, it would be best to also sub_remove the old
one either before or after.
I think, but am not sure, that first doing sub_remove and then sub_load
will behave in the way you want it.
