There is another problem with that approach: ASS-in-Matroska only supports
Dialogue lines, while the ASS spec also defines "Comment", "Picture",
"Sound" and "Movie". mkvmerge ignores all these lines. Ignoring comments
seems ok, but IMHO the others should be preserved.

Possible solution: "clean ASS packets" could have the "Dialogue: " prefix,
optional for Dialogue because it is most common, but mandatory for the other
types.

I will also ask to the Matroska maintainers.
