[vorbis] Matroska as an alternative to Ogg (container)

[Peter Schüller]

http://www.matroska.org/

I just found out about this and I think it looks like a great idea. I figured 
some on this list would be interested. 

Also, speaking now without having reviewed matroska in detail, nor being 
involved in Ogg/Vorbis:

Perhaps it would be a viable alternative for the Ogg format for Theora if 
nothing else. I read about the .ogg format a while back, and while I have no 
complaints, it's considerably more limited in scope. Matroska support from the 
Ogg/Vorbis camp would probably help the project on its way too.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, it is my understanding that while 5.1 sound is 
theoretically supported, actual practical support is non-existent because 
there is no agreed-upon way to identify the channels. I'm guessing this is 
addressed by matroska.
