I'd rather use the AVStream.id field to set the PIDs of each stream.  I'm
imagining something like

  ffmpeg -i ... -streamid 0x200 -streamid 0x300 out.ts

where each -streamid would assign the id field of the next stream.
Specifying a value of 0 would give the default (current) behavior of
selecting a PID of one greater than the previous stream.

This still leaves the PMT pid out, though.  I can't think of any other
formats using anything equivalent to the PMT, either, so I suppose it
calls for something format-specific, even if I don't like that.
