fine, so i have a few more questions
* is 0/0 actually required by spec / players or just like the existing
  muxers do?
* are the 0 packets we write causing actual problems with spec/players?

the internal timebase should be set to whichever value the timebase of
the subs has (ms ?)
forcing the written timebase to 0/0 if we do have to do that, is easy
(obvious if(XSUB) put(0) ..), i dont think ff_parse_specific_params()
could set a 0/0 tb and the muxer would still function but if it works
that would be an option as well

about the 0 packets, well your patch was probably pretty close to what
we would have to do ... arbitrarly ommiting them

the demuxer of course will require code to handle this (i think we dont
have any ATM), that is probably if(XSUB) pts=dts=AV_NOPTS_VALUE and leaving
it to a parser to fill them in
