Ensure up-to-dateness of global_sub information upon request. Some demuxers (like mpg) can detect subtitles only while playing, which is the reason why MPlayer always - indirectly - calls update_global_sub_size() prior to dealing with subtitles. Functions mpctx_get_global_sub_size() and mpctx_get_global_sub_pos(), however, merely return last determined values, thus missing information that may have been arisen after MPlayer has checked last for subtitles (when playback started). Merge the two mpctx_get_global_sub_*() functions into one for easier handling. Retrieve global_sub pos by a mp_property_do("sub") command which performs the necessary update of both global_sub variables, pos and size. Reported by Lode Leroy, lode.leroy gmail com.

## Reading the MPlayer Documentation ##
#######################################

Thanks for reading MPlayer documentation !!!


1. For "release" version users (i.e. non-Subversion):

   a, Enter the HTML/ directory, and there you'll find the documentation,
      each language in its own subdirectory.

   b, If you prefer reading the documentation as a single big file it
      can be found in the file MPlayer.html, each language in its
      own subdirectory.

   c, If the HTML/ directory does not contain your language,
      try the subdirectories in this very same folder.


2. For "development" version users (i.e. Subversion or Subversion snapshots):

   a, Enter the xml/ directory, and read the README file there to find
      out how to build a HTML version of the XML documentation. It will
      be created in the HTML/ directory.

   b, If the xml/ directory doesn't contain your language, try the
      subdirectories in this very same folder.
