dunno, i don't know them.
but afair libav's demuxers are very incomplete and don't handle errors.
does dvdstream has own ts->ps or it programs the card to send ps instead of ts?

imho the better way would be programming the card to send PS instead of TS
(at least siemens DVB-s can do that), the other way is implementing a TS
_demuxer_ in mplayer.
i won't accept ts->ps hacks in stream layer for CVS.
so, make a TS file and first get it playable with mplayer by implementing
demux_ts.c, then go for the steraming stuff.
but before doing it check if your card can do PS too, it's faster and better
