It's always best to be testing with exactly the same file, especially 
when none of the rest of us seem to have the problem you describe. If it 
happens with all files, do say so, but provide a sample for the sake of 
consistency. Posting a URL to a publicly-available file, like you did, 
is fine.

Anyway, I just looked through this thread and I can't find anywhere you 
posted mplayer output, so I don't know if I need to tell you to use 
current CVS. There were a couple known MKV problems fixed in the last 
few months, as has been pointed out once or twice.

I don't mean to sound condescending, but you're being a bit pushy. I 
know it takes a certain amount of noise to get helped sometimes, but 
keep in mind that all of us work on mplayer and help users on our spare 
time. If you can spend 10 minutes saving several of us 5 minutes each, 
that effort will not go unappreciated and you'll be much more likely to 
get your report looked at. Follow the bug reporting guidelines; they 
exist for a reason.

Until the new server is fully operational, that is:
ftp://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/incoming/
