The autoloading support is working like this: kaffeine is playing the file
movie.avi and loading the subtitle movie.srt, movie.sub, ... from the same
directory. So the filename is the same only the suffix is different (.sub, .srt,
.txt, ...)

Also are two menu items "Open..." and "Open subtitles..." This is not simple
enough? :-) In case of totem will be "Open...", "Open location...", "Open
subtitle...", "Play DVD...", "Play VCD...", "Play Audio CD", ... "Quit"

It's funny that the "Play _Audio_ CD" is included in the _"Movie"_ menu :-) but
the "Open subtitle..." can't be included because it's "not fit the simple UI" :-)

totem file:///file.avi#subtitle:file.srt gave me 'Totem could not play
file:///file.avi#subtitle:file.srt'.

Also as suggested in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123060 it will be
 enough if totem will scan the directory where the movie is and collect all
subtitles in "View/Subtitles" menu so the user can select the subtitle.

If upstrem does not want to include this options can I submit a patch for this
problem (probably end of the next week)? It will be included in Ubuntu? What
solution do you prefer?
1. separat "Open subtitle..." in the "Movie" menu
2. or list the subtitles in the already existing "View/Subtitles" menu
