Looks like this one hasn't been send to the linux-dvb list,
so I resent it here. Sorry for the inconvenience.

FYI: I am currently implementing an TS/PS-to-PS/TS multiplexer, which probably
will do what Felix needs. It is not yet in a releasable state, somewhat test-pre-alpha,
and does currently (PS|PES|TS)*-->TS, but output to programstream is foreseen
as the next task I will work on. I hope to be ready with this by end of march (latest).
