Hopefully WebVTT would work with it, if not I would file bug reports with the ePub viewer, WebVTT is fairly established now as the standard way to include captions / subtitles / chapters with HTML5 media and ePub software should support it. It's with the HTML5 track element. WebVTT is very similar to SRT but has some noticeable differences.
