Sorry about base64 encoding, here is the culprit in hex:
Good extradata:

extradata = 14d4033ffe1013274d4033a918283f60d4180418c2b5ef7c04010428ce988
extradata_size = 34

Bad extradata:

extradata =
04d03331013274d4033a918283f60d4180418c2b5ef7c04010428ce988
extradata_size = 34

as I mentioned before, the "good" extradata is obtained from ffplay.
the "bad" extradata is generated by yours truly according to
instructions from http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/codecs.pdf

I am interested to know what is the proper way to construct the extradata.
