I have this scripted and put a custom player command in for movies with 
subs. Script is something like this:

#!/bin/bash

FILE=$1
SUB=`echo $FILE | awk -F. '{print $1}'`

/usr/bin/xine $FILE#subtitle:$SUB.sub

My subtitle files all have a .sub extention, are in the same directory 
as the movie file and have the same filename before the extentsion. For 
example the sub file for GhostInTheShell.avi is GhostInTheShell.sub. I 
set up a filter in the Video manager to make Myth ignore files called 
*.sub so the don't get listed in the movie lists.
