[MPlayer-users] Can't get matroska (mkv) to work in mplayer

Gentoo is known to silently --disable-matroska in their ebuilds. So
please download the current CVS version of mplayer (which contains a new
Matroska demuxer that doesn't nee libebml/libmatroska anymore) and
compile manually without the gentoo build system.
