You should be able to stream text subtitles if you use the MPEG TS, mp4 or 
Ogg muxers.
You can also stream DVD subtitles if you stream in MPEG TS, either as is 
(which is not standard compliant) or by converting them to DVB subtitles 
(with the transcoder module).
Lastly if you are transcoding the video, you can burn the subtitles directly 
onto the video.

But beware that you'll need VLC 0.8.0-testX and that some of these features 
have not been extensively tested... but you can report any problems here.
