why buggy audio drivers can have a bad influence on playback quality.

Contains subtitle rendering, OSD rendering, and parts of subtitle loading.
Contains subtitle and OSD rendering.
sub.c/.h is actually the OSD code. It queries dec_sub.c to retrieve
decoded/rendered subtitles. osd_libass.c is the actual implementation of
the OSD text renderer (which uses libass, and takes care of all the tricky
fontconfig/freetype API usage and text layouting).
Subtitles are loaded either via libass (for .ass), subreader.c (the old
MPlayer subtitle loader code), or libavformat demuxers. The subtitles are
then passed to dec_sub.c and the subtitle decoders in sd_*.c. All text
subtitles are rendered by sd_ass.c. If text subtitles are not in the ASS
format, subtitle converters are inserted, for example sd_srt.c, which is
used to convert SRT->ASS. sd_srt.c is also used as general converter for
text->ASS (to prevent interpretation of text as ASS tags).
Subtitle loading is now in demux/ instead. demux_libass.c wraps loading
.ass subtitles via libass. demux_lavf.c loads most subtitle types via
FFmpeg. demux_subreader.c is the old MPlayer code. It's used as last
fallback, or to handle some text subtitle types on Libav. (It also can
load UTF-16 encoded subtitles without requiring the use of -subcp.)
demux_subreader.c should eventually go away (maybe).
subreader.c should eventually go away. It should be replaced by either
libavformat's demuxers, or by mpv native demuxers for more common formats
like SRT. See commit message of commit 92ae48d what needs to be done to
replace subreader.c completely and why.
The subtitles are passed to dec_sub.c and the subtitle decoders in sd_*.c
as they are demuxed. All text subtitles are rendered by sd_ass.c. If text
subtitles are not in the ASS format, subtitle converters are inserted, for
example sd_srt.c, which is used to convert SRT->ASS. sd_srt.c is also used
as general converter for text->ASS (to prevent interpretation of text as
ASS tags).
Text subtitles can be preloaded, in which case they are read fully as soon
as the subtitle is selected, and then effectively stored in an ASS_Track.
It's used for external text subtitles, and required to make codepage
detection as well as timing postprocessing work.
