Actually the PS streams don't contain PACK headers, so as far as I  
know that makes them PES files as well.

TS: It's not TS. it has not PAT/PMT tables. the software producing  
this is broken and should be fixed. We won't do any "hacks" for this.
ES: Not broken, just raw mpeg like Christophe explains below.

That would indeed be a lot better. However since the PES streams are  
actually whats coming out of these cards and dumped to disc, I  
figured it was worth supporting. The TS is different in that it  
requires a conversion, which is clearly not done properly.

And synching the Audio/Video is the other reason for multiplexing.
