We're not talking about codec extradata here. In this case the frames
have to contain an offset table in machine order which is ALSO present
right at the start of the frame itself in little endian (don't ask me
why, it's the way it is with the RealVideo decoder). In Matroska this
extra table is not present while it IS present in RMFF files. Therefore
it's OK for the Matroska demuxer to rebuild the table on the fly.

Anyway, the issue is not really worth discussing.
