It's not really a FF card as the MPEG-decoder is not used when connected to
a pc, as you said. However the card does the initial processing of the TS stream,
and sends only the extracted MPEG ES stream for video and the MPEG PES stream
for audio(iirc).
It not possible to just get a part of the TS stream by setting an arbitrary PID filter.
It is only possible to tell the device which PIDs belong to the video/audio stream.
So using DMX_PES_OTHER is not possible.
An application can simply try DMX_PES_OTHER first and if -ENOTSUPPORTED is returned,
as it would be the case here, it can fallback to DMX_PES_{AUDIO,VIDEO}.
Mythtv does it this way afaik.
