As far as I know the term closed captioning includes information about 
all pertinent sounds that are present in the movie or game.  For 
example, if there were sounds from the underbrush on the right, the 
caption bar would indicate what the sounds are and where from.

Sub-titles on the other hand only include reproducing speech components.
