This is wrong, because different ES PIDs can use different ECM PIDs.
Moving the CA descriptors to the program level destroys their
association to an ES PID.

I don't know whether any broadcasters use it, but the fact that stream
level CA descriptors exist proves that is is intended to make that
possible.
