DEMUX_SET_GROUP does not require polling.

I don't understand the question. MPEG-TS is not an access-demux, or is it?

The input thread and the ES output have no knowledge of the internals of
the bit stream. The mapping the bit stream to elementary streams and groups
is the responsibility of the demuxer. So obviously, the reverse mapping is
also the demuxer's job.
