I would like to ask you to commit the patch:

Without it, it's not possible to view my cable TV providers H264 test program.
Until now, the only way to watch it was to manually change the video stream type
in demuxer_ts.c (which of course made the resulting binary useless because no
other DVB-C programs could be viewed).
I just wanted to write a feature request when I saw this patch and until
auto-detection works this would be very nice to be included in cvs.

Thank you, Carl Eugen
