Probably not (at least in next week or two).

It should be simple to parse :). After the header there's always segment
type byte and length (16-bits BE). Without index seeking is not possible
(file must be read from beginning to end).

I don't know if there should be also parser ? mkvmerge seems to combine
several PGS segments to single packet. ffmpeg matroska demuxer does not
split matroska packets back to PGS segments, so remuxing subtitles from
such .mkv file results in broken .sup file.
mkvextract correctly splits packets back to segments, but of course most
of the timestamps have been lost.

Another option would be splitting AVFrame back to PGS segments in .sup
muxer. Or it could check segment length and refuse to mux if segment
length does not match with input frame.

With m2ts input ("native" PGS container) there are no problems because
of each segment must be packed to separate PES frame.
