it's not so much a bug as a feature request at this point. ffmpeg
can't natively seek in matroska. mplayer, xine, etc have special code
to do this, so Myth would need similar to occur. It's also not that it
can't seek, it just doesn't do it *properly* for all mkv files.

really this ticket should be closed with a request added to the wiki's
feature request list (if it hasn't already been done).
