[streaming] Streaming MPEG2 from Hauppauge PVR150 using VLC for Windows?

It is unclear to me if it is actually possible to stream live audio/video in compressed format (MPEG2) from a Hauppauge PVR-150 encoder card using VLC for Windows. 
More specifically, I want to stream the compressed data served by the Hauppauge onboard encoder instead of having VLC transcode the raw audio/video data. 

The DirectShow frontend in VLC will only recognise the capture filters audio and video output pins (the "Audio Out" and "Capture" pins on the "Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II Capture" filter). 
To get access to the MPEG2 PS stream directly from the hardware encoder it is necessary to connect to the "MPEG" output pin on the "Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II Encoder" filter. The encoder filter itself must be connected to the capture filters "656" output pin. 

My question is: Is it possible to instruct VLC to include the "Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II Encoder" filter in its graph and to directly stream the output from the "MPEG" pin? 

Thanks

Kind Regards

Henrik
