Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
When there is lyrics embedded in metadata of a "song.ogg" audio file (Ogg Vorbis), mpv should offer that as subtitle. If I use an external "song.lrc" file, which is with the same name as the audio file, then mpv offers the lyrics as subtitles just fine.
Embedded lyrics support would be a good feature for mpv, so that we wouldn't need to store many many external lyrics files along with music.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing mpv's existing external .lrc subtitle discovery and its Ogg Vorbis metadata handling, then determine how embedded lyrics can enter the subtitle path. Done means lyrics embedded in song.ogg are offered as subtitles while external song.lrc behavior remains unchanged.
