    There are two mayor (for me) problems with OGM playing with MPlayer.

    First one is that sub-streams in OGMs have wrong timing and subtitles are shown too fast

    Second one is lack of possiblity of switching audio streams in OGMs

    And is there possiblity to activate built-in GUI?

    Yes, it's a bug in MPlayer. The ogm demuxer is a horrible mess.

    Ever tried -alang and -aid switches?

    One solution is to first manually extract subtitles from ogm file with ogmtools, and tell mplayer to use that separate file instead.

    I'm talking about switching on-fly, not typing switches for every movie. After all not all movies have dual audio, and dual audio is different in many movies...

    You don't have to type switches for every movie, -alang (and its tooltype equivalent (AUDIO_LANGUAGE (can't remember)?)) supports an option-chain, ie -alang pl,en,foo will first try polish, then english then foo ( ;) ), and if neither exist, the default one...

    As for OTF-switching the latest build of 1.0 should support that (if not, beg Fab for a newer one).
