  Description      : extensible audio/video container format

 Matroska is a cross-platform multimedia container format for audio and video
 data, and aims to become the standard of multimedia container formats. It
 has support for menus (like DVDs), subtitles, seeking, error recovery and
 streaming (over the Internet or on a LAN).
 
Note: the Matroska software is still under development, and only provides a
demuxer library. I am packaging this because some media players can already
be compiled with support for Matroska files. The binary package will be
called libmatroska-dev and will contain .a and _pic.a libraries, because
upstream foresees many API/ABI changes before a shared library can be
released.
