If anyone gets round to writing a codec to read/write the various subtitle
file formats, then I imagine it's quite likely. If you're interested in
coding this yourself, I suggest you look at implementing this as an ffmpeg
codec, like the current subtitle codecs.
An alternative might be re-encoding your subtitle files into dvd or dvb
subtitle format and then multiplexing them in with your media files
(although I think this only works from mpeg PS/TS containers).
