PGS support (bluray subtitles) was checked into trunk less than a day ago,
see http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6748 .

For text-based subtitles like .srt files, you will not see any OSD menu
entries for controlling their display.  You can press 't' to toggle them on
and off, or you can globally enable captions/subtitles in the OSD settings,
or you can apply the patch in http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/8153 to put
control in the OSD menu.
