I had similar problems with multicasts using dumprtp, but if I pipe the 
output of ts2ps through a buffering tool like "bfr" mplayer plays the stream 
without problems.

I use "bfr" from http://paranoid.dyn.dhs.org/software/buffer.html
with a 10MB big buffer. So the commandline in your case would be:

cat /dev/ost/dvr | ts2ps vpid apid | bfr -b 10M | mplayer -

But i think Arpi is also working on better buffer handling and a transport 
stream parser.
