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.

VIDIX - Video Interface for *niX.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This library was designed and introduced as interface to userspace drivers
to provide DGA everywhere where it's possible (unline X11).
I hope that these drivers will be portable same as X11 (not only on *nix).

For details on how to develop a new driver see trunk/DOCS/tech/vidix.txt

IMPORTANT: These are NOT linux kernel drivers. If you are looking for
the mga_vid linux kernel drivers, please cd ../drivers thanks.
