Well, then there's only one thing to do. To patch ps/ts demuxer
modules to corretly identify h264 streams. When you look
into the source files ts.c and ps.c, you'll find out that this is
implemented well. It seems that MC signs the stream incorrectly
(or with their own id.) I'll have a look at it, it shouldn't be a big
prob.
