If i search for "mpegts" in libavformat i find
hls, rtp, rtsp, segment, wtv
but iam sure these arent the only mixed containers.

If we look at DAB or DVB in a more fundamental way, they have no need
for mpegts.
Should this (apparently unneeded) design decission in DAB/DVB dictate
design on our side when it has not previously ?

If so, what design ?

The objections have been unclear, are they against SDR, against the
implementation.
I took the liberty to be pushy here to get this more clear. And i will
continue to do this until i get clear responses. Because otherwise
iam just stuck as i dont know how to correct the design and code.

Thank you for clarifying the libavformat issue.
