I can confirm that, TS discontinuities should not be a problem. However if the PID's of the stream change after the decoder has starting decoding that will have problems.
 
As it stands currently once you have started to decode audio and video from a given PID that will be all it will use. The auto PID detection currentlt only works when you first join a stream.

	The Amino people say their STB handles discontinuities in the TS,
	though they say that differing PIDs might confuse it.  I'm looking to
	see if there is a way I can tell VLC to only stream certain PIDs.
