I had a sample, although I can't seem to locate it now. It had an AC-3
and a TrueHD version of the same track, encoded as two streams with
different extended_stream_ids but muxed onto the same PID. I did look
at adding support for this, but the current mpegts demuxer relies on
one PID == one stream, so I didn't know how to proceed...
