The TS contains only one service.

Hmm, I don't see an option to specify multiple streams (one audio
and one video).  Apart from that, IMHO it should be possible to
have multiple audio streams in a single PS.

I have written my own beast to demux a complete transponder and split
it into separate transport streams (every service gets its stream).
The PIDs which are mentioned in the PMT for the given service are passed
unmodified.  In addition, new PAT/PMT are created (stripped down just to
the given service).

Both, mplayer and vlc play those streams with no problems.

Do you think the TS may be screwed?  I pass the a/v-PIDs which are
mentioned in PMT unmodified.  PAT is trivial.  PMT reflects the
contents from the original PMT (reconstructed just to keep
continuity_counter consistent).  I don't think anything can be
screwed here.
