Thanks - yes you're right.  (Strictly speaking, the Transport Stream 
is OK, but the PES data contained in it is not (because it doesn't 
contain PTSs).)

Presumably it was able to play the video because of the timestamps 
present in the MPEG Video Elementary Stream data.  MPEG Audio 
Elementary Stream data, OTOH, doesn't contain any timestamps, which 
explains why VLC didn't play any audio.

Thanks again for looking into this.

         Ross.
