Hmm, I would have expected that information to be in there somewhere.
The decoder should be able to detect the encoding of the data stream
by itself, without the application having to tell it what the data
actually is.

from an application point of view it makes more sense to follow the model:
decode_pat()
foreach program
{
decode_pmt() ==> identify the codec used by the stream_type
}
Moreover, the pes headers in mpeg2 are already overbloated with 90% of
useless crap;
adding more stuff would have been a bad choice, IMO.
Well, that might be feasible for live viewing, but what
about replaying a recording? There is no PAT/PMT in a
recording.
