Well, the whole functionality behind --sout-ts-alignment is to disable
FixPES() function...

Hereby I propose to make --sout-ts-alignment the default, since:

1) on audio-only streams, the audio ES is also PCR PID, so FixPES() is not
   being used anyway and no bandwidth saving happens.
2) on videostreams, the bandwidth saving is negligible - it's approx. 1 %
   (4.1532 Mbps with FixPES and 4.1986 Mbps without FixPES on a TV channel)
3) the default MPEG audio packet corresponds to 24 msec (@48 kHz sampling)
   For e.g. 256 kbps audio track FixPES divides it into 5.3 msec pieces
   which means you can't reconstruct the original 24 msec interval using
   integer-based number of pieces and there are many more timestamps than
   before possibly requiring additional processing on the STBs.

If anyone objects agains making --sout-ts-alignment the default, please
reply.


	Thanks & kind regards,
