I still fail to see why you want to use the text renderer api. Do you expect
printf() to render svg?

Vlc's YUVA format uses equal resolution for all planes. You seem to
subsample the U and V planes.

The subtitle timing properties are desided by whoever adds the subtitle to
the subtitle core. This means that the text renderer module cares nothing
about the subtitle timing. I don't know any part of the code that adds svg
subpictures, so I can't help proofread this part of the code.

P.S: I have an idea for a better interface, that will flexibly allow both
svg and text (and possibly others), but I'm too tired to explain now. Maybe
another day.
