Then I know no solution to your problem, as VLS is forced to read each
PES packet entirely before sending out TS packets. A solution would be to
increase the buferring on VLS's side, but I have no idea how to do it
(maybe a VLS developer can help you on this).

If bursts are due to a high CPU load, another good idea would be to run
the streamer thread with a real-time priority.
