In addition to audio, video, program_stream_map, private_stream-X
and program_stream_directory, Table 2-19 in iso-13818-1 defines 9
more stream types:

 - ECM_stream
 - EMM_stream
 - 13818-6_DSMCC_stream
 - ISO/IEC_13522_stream
 - ITU-T Reac. H.222.1 type A
 - ITU-T Reac. H.222.1 type B
 - ITU-T Reac. H.222.1 type C
 - ITU-T Reac. H.222.1 type D
 - ITU-T Reac. H.222.1 type E

I have not looked into the details, but I guess teletext and subtitles
might be included in this list.
