Well, I don't think this is very private : a module that asks 'give me
as many TS packets as you want' is not worser than 'give me just one TS
Packet', is it ?

After some talks with damien, we thought that this change is almost
compulsory for certain converter, and it is not a problem for the
trickplay module nor for the interfaces between modules.

Otherwise, in the case of ps2ts and raw2ts, we would have to add a *new*
thread in the converter with a SyncFifo. Indeed, thoses modules only
output *several* Ts Packets.

Do you have better solution for the middle-term ?
