There is on some shows. For those the choice is between "English" and "English [CC]" or similar; the former omits descriptions of noises. Most don't have this, probably because it's not provided by the producers.

Agreed on timing issues. This also seems to vary by show/producer.

VLC lets you adjust the timing of the closed captions. It's totally possible to set a delay of 2 sec.

H/J to decrease/increase subtitle delay.
