Hello,

Thanks a lot for working on this really wanted feature.

This feature should be disabled by default. I think most people will expect to unselect the previous subtitle when selecting a new one. You should add a a new vlc option (cf. src/libvlc-module.c) to enable it.

Solution looks OK to me, but I'm no spu export. Francois ?

Why not having one clock per spu ?

It should work on every OS.

Do you really need this variable ? We can get multiple VIDEO ES selected without having a reference to the "secondary" one.

So, the ES_OUT_ES_POLICY_SIMULTANEOUS should depend on a VLC option.

Why ? Is the secondary SPU also created via EsOutCreateDecoder(), in that case, it should have its own clock, no ?
