no, you can't assume it, but generally they are, especially since dvb 
transponders are packing
more and more tvs on the same stream.
I can see on a local dvb-t transmitter a tv encoded at 720x576 at 3Mb/s 
and 128 mp2 audio :)

uhm, I always thought that -vf lavc is a bit rigid. I will try, but not 
soon, because I'm quite busy at the moment.
