Sebastien, Could you ask upstream if there is any other reason for not loading 
subtitles for a file ending with .txt, please ? 
This very behavior, loading .txt as well as .srt subtiltes, is implemented by 
some other players such as mplayer and xine (and as far as I know a couple of 
standalone DVD/DivX players also).

I'm a little bit confused by the upstream statement that they will not
use .txt since it's hard to tell if it is a subtitle file or not. There
are a couple of subtitle standards anyway, so one way or the other upon
upening a subtitle file there has to be an algorithm implemented which
detects the subtitle standard and read it. So what's wrong with trying
both .srt and .txt files then? I can't see any explanation.
