Yes, I know. I hesitated for quite some time, as there is no such 
thing like a homepage for ebml. There is an obsoleted page on 
sourceforge (<http://ebml.sourceforge.net/>), but it contains 
sentences like "All people that are working on EBML are related to 
Matroska" so I found it wrong to point there. Also, the files on the 
sourceforge server that they offer for download are at version 0.6, 
i.e. out of date by ages.

I disagree. This link is merely a directory of tarballs without any 
informative value. I found that the page which was most able to 
represent libebml was the specifications page of matroska. If you (and 
maybe others) disagree, this is still subject to change, of course.

Which link is exactly broken? I couldn't find the symptoms that you 
describe.
