 I am pretty sure that at least :
- the mkv demuxer has to be fixed too.
- the ffmpeg avcodec library has to be fixed or our avcodec modules (decoder/encoder)
 should convert 4 bytes to 2 bytes size (and the other way).
- the ffmpeg avformat library has to be fixed or our avformat modules (demuxer/muxer)
 should convert  4 bytes to 2 bytes size (and the other way).

Without these actions taken, the current patch cannot be applied.
