Hello,

On the iPhone, one the biggest missing features asked by the users where
the subtitles.

I think there are different path to do:
 - Render and blend inside VLC. Safest, but slowest.
 - Pass the subpictures to the vout, using the 2.0 API and let Android
   UI manage it, with acceleration (if it can)
 - Pass the subpictures or the text to the vout, and let Android draw
   the subtitles if it is text based (srt but not ASS)

For Ass, we must render on the VLC side, because it is too complex to
pass the infos...

Best regards,
