In fact, the standard says that so-called "partial transport streams" (i.e. recordings of a program) shall contain modified and/or special tables. I haven't yet seen a hard- or software that conforms to this clause, however. But there are several that only store the audio and video streams, but no SI tables. I'm using one of them (dvbd) myself. I think we should follow two paths here: Use the tables if they are present, and keep guessing along if they are not. I already wrote some simple table-parsing code (for another program) that might be suitable.
