Unfortunately, with some formats, codecs and decoders, seeking is not always possible. A number of such cases are already known, but not all. 'mkv' is not already known to be one of those unseekable by MOC, though.
Could you run MOC with the -D option and, after attempting to play an 'mkv' file, look in the mocp_server_log file (which will be produced in the directory in which you started MOC) for the string "Seek broken by AVIOContext.seekable", please.
Also, what release is your FFmpeg library (which MOC uses to decode 'mkv')?
