Comment(by jonner at teegra.net):

 I am using mythtv SVN revision 14623 and I am also not able to seek in
 Matroska files containing H.264 video and AC3 (A/52) audio generated by
 ffmpeg (SVN revision 10707). Both mplayer and ffplay (from ffmpeg 10707)
 seek just fine in the same files. I'm experimenting with transcoding HD
 recordings into a size that can fit on a DVD-R. H.264 encoded by x264
 seems to do well and I don't want to change the A/52 audio. So, far, I've
 had the best luck with AVI, but it's a limited and fragile format, so I'd
 rather use something more modern and robust against damage. MPEG-4 and MOV
 don't seem to like carrying A/52 (at least not encoded by FFMPEG). I also
 tried MPEG-TS, which plays very jerkily. Ffplay and mplayer also seem fine
 with Nut, but mythfrontend just gives me a black screen. Either mythtv
 doesn't actually handle all the containers provided by libavformat or the
 version in mythtv SVN is pretty old.
