The decoder gets the ES packets in the form of so-called PES (packetized 
ES). The demux is in charge of peeling of all layers from a TS into a ES.
With VLC it is also possible to force an demuxer on the commandline, do 
something like this:

$> vlc file/es://my.mpeg

Libdvbpsi is used by the TS-demuxer to check that the stream follows the 
MPEG standards.
