About the rename, I recall there was a discussion on the list. Someone
needed to create a filter that changes existing subpictures, and this
filter type should be distinguished from filters which create new
subpictures (i.e. the traditional subpicture filters; hence, subpicture
sources).

I'm thinking the subpicture filtering capability would be useful for the
Phosphor deinterlacer, too (to process also the subtitles!), if it's
possible to automatically link the filters (so that starting up the
"main" filter also starts up the linked one). I haven't looked into this
yet.
