stream_seek: WARNING! Can't seek to 0x58 !

mplayer didnt crash or exit, it just sits there doing nothing until i kill
it

The file looks pretty normal otherwise, vlc can play it, xine can play it,
mplayer with -demuxer lavf can play it.

I was going to upload a sample to incoming, but the file is large
(350MB) and when i tried to cut even a couple Mbs from its tail mplayer
suddenly can play it with -demuxer mkv!

This is mplayer output if tail is cut off
