Matroska demuxer fails with invalid testsuite file test7.mkv

[brad]

Trying out the Matroska testsuite with FFmpeg I see the FFmpeg Matroska demuxer is unable to play one of the test videos. It plays the first few secs kinda choppy and it shouldn't be and then just "freezes" instead of continuing.
