ah, too bad :-(. A solution could be to divide the one video stream in
parts, say 0->10 min is part 1, 10->15 is part 2, etc. but I am afraid
that is going to be too complicated and ignores everything about
streaming.

Guess I will have to take a look at Matroska now. Any idea's when this
will be implemented in mplayer?
