Exactly what is says. It can input and output transport and program
streams.
The output type is currently only controllable at insmod time like I
described in my previous mail.

Some DVDs (usually music video DVDs) have PCM sound in PES packets.
You can now just pipe such DVDs into /dev/video (with css-cat for
encrypted DVDs of course).
This can also be used to feed AC3 sound decoded by ac3dec to the DVB card.
Just pack it into PES-PCM and send it multiplexed with the video.
The PCM-PES packets must not have more than 2048 bytes payload though.
