MPEG-PS is MPEG-PES with additional headers (e.g. timing information).
Using MPEG-PES with the streamdev-plugin, MPlayer needs at least 30
seconds up to 4 minutes to detect the format of the stream, fails often
to detect and looses A/V-sync or crashes. With MPEG-PS it starts playing
at once and rocks quite stable (except when bit-erros occurr - breaks
mplayer).
