With getstream a little toy project of mine i basically just fetch the whole stream with pid 0x2000 for budget cards, or join individual pids on non-budget cards and do the whole remuxing stuff in userspace. It is okay to have a MpegTS demux in kernel space as its a "unify the interface" thingy for all different cards, but the section reassembly is just a little featured moved to the kernel where it IMHO does not belong to.
