(Get the code!)
William,
As the developer of gnome-mplayer I get several bugs with regards to subtitles and other weirdness. Most of those issues are solved by getting a newer version of mplayer. By not upgrading this package to something more recent you are actually creating more problems for users and developers.
As stated above the mplayer team does not do releases and recommends using SVN. I know this causes more work for you as a packager, but even doing a monthly or quarterly release even with a package name of 'mplayer-svn' would be helpful. That way the people that want a 'stable' mplayer can use mplayer and those that want one that actually works, can track a newer package.
Thanks,
Kevin
