[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] fix matroska decoder for streamed input

[Reimar Döffinger]

Hello,
the matroska demuxer will attempt seeking when reading the seekhead stuff.
This completely messes up playing from stdin - well, at least within
MPlayer.
I since this is a non-essential part, IMO it should be skipped for
the url_is_streamed case, as in below patch.
Objections to applying it?
