[MPlayer-users] Less info with the new mkv demuxer

I'm using MPlayer SVN r27531. It seems recently the demuxer for Matroska files 
has been changed from mkv to lavfpref. But this change is having a bad effect 
in smplayer (and probably other frontends).

Now there's no info about the names and languages of the audio and subtitles 
tracks. Previously, with the mkv demuxer, this was printed by mplayer:

(Playing 
http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/Matroska/matrix/Matrix.Reloaded.Trailer-640x346-XviD-1.0beta2-HE_AAC_subtitled.mkv)

ID_VIDEO_ID=0
ID_VID_0_NAME=Matrix Reloaded Trailer XviD 1.0 Beta1

ID_AUDIO_ID=0
ID_AID_0_NAME=HE-AAC 50-70
ID_AID_0_LANG=eng

ID_SUBTITLE_ID=0
ID_SID_0_NAME=Arabic
ID_SID_0_LANG=ara

ID_SUBTITLE_ID=1
ID_SID_1_NAME=Catalan
ID_SID_1_LANG=cat

...

But now it just simply prints this:

ID_VIDEO_ID=0

ID_AUDIO_ID=1

ID_SUBTITLE_ID=0

ID_SUBTITLE_ID=1

ID_SUBTITLE_ID=2

ID_SUBTITLE_ID=3

...

There's neither info about the chapters. Previously I got the info from these 
lines (adding option -v):

[mkv] Chapter 0 from 00:00:30.000 to 00:00:00.000, Test Chapter 1
[mkv] Chapter 1 from 00:01:00.000 to 00:00:00.000, Test Chapter 2
[mkv] Chapter 2 from 00:01:30.000 to 00:00:00.000, Test Chapter 3
[mkv] Chapter 3 from 00:02:00.000 to 00:00:00.000, Test Chapter 4

A video with chapters can be found here:
http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/Matroska/matrix/Matrix.Reloaded.Trailer-RV9-Karl640x432_HE_AAC_subtitled_chapters.mkv

(BTW, now mplayer crashes when trying to play that video, although it works ok 
with -demuxer mkv)
