rtfm... there is iotion -cache for this...

it's on my TODO, but with the current demuxer API it's very difficult to
add. wither i have to make a new demuxer, and duplicate some code of
demux_mpg, or make a filter between stream and demux_mpg, but this solution
lacks of filtering api, teh third is to hack internal ts2ps into demux_mpg
