[vlc] VobSub format changes

[Vorfeed Canal]

Recently I've got few files with VobSub subtiles unplayable by VLC.
Here is sample of VLC-friendly VobSub .idx:

# English
id: en, index: 0
# Decomment next line to activate alternative name in DirectVobSub /
Windows Media Player 6.x
# alt: English
# Vob/Cell ID: 21, 1 (PTS: 0)
timestamp: 00:00:01:062, filepos: 000000000
timestamp: 00:00:08:302, filepos: 000001800
timestamp: 00:00:15:510, filepos: 000002800
timestamp: 00:00:22:683, filepos: 000003800
timestamp: 00:00:29:624, filepos: 000004800

Here is what latest version of VSFilter produced:

# English
id: en, index: 0
# Decomment next line to activate alternative name in DirectVobSub /
Windows Media Player 6.x
# alt: English
# Vob/Cell ID: 21, 1 (PTS: 0)
Delay:  00:25:39:200
timestamp: -00:25:38:138, filepos: 000000000
timestamp: -00:25:30:898, filepos: 000001800
timestamp: -00:25:23:690, filepos: 000002800
timestamp: -00:25:16:517, filepos: 000003800
timestamp: -00:25:09:376, filepos: 000004800

I can send you full sample (.avi+.idx+.sub) if you need it - or you
can grab it from http://www.boxtorrents.com/details.php?id=128748...

Now the question: are there plans to add support for this "extended"
VobSub subtitles ?

VSFilter is Windows-only but GPLed so it should not be too hard to see
how it handles this format. I checked CVS for VSFilter and it does not
even unclude ancient versions without "Delay:" support ! And CVS goes
back as far as to may 2003 so it's little sad to see this format not
fully-supported in VLC today...
