If you need to receive a multicast stream you're stuck with vlc.

The vlc documentation lacks some examples but after studying the code it
should work like that:

vlc --verbose=2 --ts-extra-pmt 2=255:1,256:3 26.ts

[00000313] ts demuxer debug: extra pmt specified (pid=2)
[00000313] ts demuxer debug:   * es pid=255 type=1 fcc=mpgv
[00000302] main input debug: selecting program id=0
[00000313] ts demuxer debug:   * es pid=256 type=3 fcc=mpga

PID 256 contains mpeg audio but I only see the picture (which is quite
an achievement :). Is there something I can do to get the audio decoded too?

Thanks for that wonderful ugly code which works quite well for me. It
seems to me it would be better to add some multicast client code to 
mplayer than some magic ts PID scanner to vlc.
