We dont have any plans in this respect, no ... our current to-do list is 
focussing on supporting more and more codecs, and we dont expect any 
commercial interest in matroska, at least right now, so this is no top 
priority for us either.

I cant see this personally. Dont misunderstand me, we would be pleased 
if such questions would come up. But IMHO the Xiph team did an excellent 
job in offering a complete and patent free audio ( and soon video ) 
streaming solution for a new kind of music scene, both commercial and 
non-commercial. Its important for Xiph to use their own container for 
this, else they would maybe not get accepted as a world-wide standard 
for these purposes, and that is to be avoided by all means.
