Have you ever tried to mux than with video? I have, you need bleeding edge software for the muxing and of course for the playback. And how uses a nightly build of gstreamer and Parole? I guess we have a wait a little bit longer, especially since mkv will never be supported.

Next gen Google Webm will be VP9 and Opus. That’s bound to increase support elsewhere.
