Allow me to repeat my original question:
Is there a mov muxer in vlc that should allow remuxing 
from mkv to mov? If yes, does remuxing alac in mkv to 
mov with current vlc produces files that are playable 
with FFmpeg (or QT)? If yes, how can I reproduce this? 
(I don't know the vlc command line to do it.)
If not, this should be fixed (first) with a patch to 
the mkv demuxer in vlc (and will fix #16620).
