SSA/ASS subtitle support should be happening soon, and is scheduled for the next milestone. The next milestone is targeted for 6 days from now. See if the next milestone resolves the issue. Also, is the ssa file muxed into the video file, or is it separate?

Ok. I checked. XBMC doesn't find external ass subtitles, and when I choose browse for subtitle in the menu, it doesn't see .ass files. A workaround would be for you to use mkvmerge from mkvtoolnix (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/23606) to put the tracks from the avi and the subtitle file into the same .mkv container. When this is done osxbmc 0.4.5 is able to use the subtitles. I'll post a bug about this if the behavior isn't better at the next milestone. As far as .sub subtitles, I don't tend to use them, and am not sure what needs to be done to get them to work.
