recently I have been encountering mkv files that cannot be read with xine or

I noticed that libmatroska (and libebml on which it depends) are at version
1.0.0 on http://www.matroska.org/downloads/linux.html . Hopefully these newer
versions might allow to view the problematic mkv files.
I could not try to rebuild these versions myself, because installing the rf
srpm fails although my file does not seem corrupted:
[nthie...@tryo Build]$ rpm -K libebml-0.7.8-1.rf.src.rpm
libebml-0.7.8-1.rf.src.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK
[nthie...@tryo Build]$ rpm -ivh libebml-0.7.8-1.rf.src.rpm

[as a side note: what's the problem here, am I doing something wrong?]
I feel that this is because the SRPM has been (remade) on RHEL6. It might
help to add the option --nofiledigest when extracting.
However I looked at some announcements and changelogs and it seems they
should build easily.
Anyone have the skills and time to try to build the newer libebml and
libmatroska?
I was planning to update all multimedia software and libraries for RHEL6,
which will also touch on the libraries for RHEL5, RHEL4 and others, if
they build find. I hope to have time for this, this or next week. But it
is a lot of work.
(One library, requires rebuilds/updates of other libraries, and you don't
know where exactly it will end :-/)
