Not necessary. It could mean the writer and the reader both do it wrong 
= not according to specifications.

The DVB-0.4.9 driver had a bug with payload_start_unit_indicator when 
generating TS from PS source (a Hauppage DVB-S card). This was the 
drivers fault. My point here is that there are more applications in the 
chain that could do something that is not according to spec, but still 
work because they come from the same vendor.

The hard part is tracking down which applications does what wrong!

Do a google:// search for "Linux Mpeg2 " ...
