[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 37/37] avformat/matroskadec: Improve check for level 1 duplicates

[Andreas Rheinhardt]

If a file uses unknown-length level 1 elements besides clusters and such
elements are after the first cluster, then these elements will usually
be parsed twice: Once during parsing of the file header and once when
reading the file reaches the position where these elements are located.
The second time the element is parsed leads to a "Duplicate element"
error message. Known-length elements are not affected by this as they
are skipped except during parsing the header.

This commit fixes this by explicitly adding a check for whether the
position of the element to be parsed is the same as the position of the
already known level 1 element.
