Matroska libraries are LGPL, which is a huge difference from Asterisk  
point of view.

After reading the web page you referred to above, seems like OGM, ogg  
media, is a hack that should be
avoided and Matroska is the way forward. I would love to see this  
format in Asterisk, especially since we
can save some metadata about the media in the file, maybe also a  
digital signature with a time stamp.
