On my todo list.

Thank you, this bug is exactly what prevents FFmpeg from doing its job
here. Unfortunately, the promising patch
<http://roundup.ffmpeg.org/file694/matroskadec_dts_fix_v2.patch>
suffered bitrot. I blindly adjusted the libavformat/utils.c part to
apply cleanly, but to no avail, the resulting ffmpeg build still aborts
dumping with the same error.

Thank you very much for your support and time. I give up here for now,
but will return to the issue later.
