Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Unspecified Linux Matroska files allow a subtitle track to be marked as the default subtitle track. In this case, when such a file is played, the default subtitle track should automatically be displayed. Dragon player does not seem to respect this setting. When the matroska file is played, there are NO subtitles shown by default, even if one is marked as the default track. I have not tested for this with multiple audio tracks with one of them marked default, but that might possibly need fixing as well. Thanks!
Which phonon backend might you me using?
Sorry for the delay in responding. I was out of town. When I reported this bug, the backend I was using was the xine backend (4.4.3). The bug is still valid. The subtitle needs to be explicitly selected. With the vlc backend (0.3.1), the default subtitle is automatically displayed (expected behavior). I couldn't get the gstreamer backend to play an mkv file, so I can't report on that...

Matroska decoding is done with gstreamer-plugins-good, but I can't remember right now what audio/video formats are inside a mkv. Xine is currently lacking maintainers, so gstreamer is slated to be the default backend for linux, until VLC becomes feature-complete.
Moving to GStreamer. I am also reporting a separate report for VLC.
