this is true but iam not sure if this is really "just" a mplayer
issue.
If there is a global palette, then it is not unreasonable that it
is placed in a stream global place. This is especially true if not
all packets are copied and the palette from the first packet is
lost as a result.
either way, the commit message for this part just points at mplayer,
which isnt really good for a description of a "bug fix" in libavformat

Patch splited in move and matroska part
i removed this memcpy() for now from what i commited as there is
clearly no consenus on it
