A quick comparison can be found at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_container_formats . I
believe Matroska should be used whenever possible, but I don't know
any any standalone players that support it right now.
There's a matroska USE flag, but as you say, I don't think any (stable)
packages use it yet.
No, I meant stand-alone as in a device that only plays disks. A DVD player
or DVD/Blu-Ray player or DVD/HD-DVD player or similar "consumer
electronics" device.
Both kmplayer (mplayer/xine) and kaffeine (xine/gstreamer/mplayer)
play .mkv files fine on my system.
In fact, MPlayer is gaining excellent support for Matroska as well. It
already includes stuff like chapter support.
