Feature requests and status

Extracted from WiiMC forum suggestions, with status (if answered by developers). Patches are always more than welcome!

• Actual Stop button: to stop (not pause) playing the video/music - should reset the Resume on that file to the beginning of it
• Abort/Cancel buffering: especially for on-line media that can be slow to buffer, rendering WiiMC unusable for even minutes
• Setting subtitle language (and corresponding code page) support
