Yes, they all demux in userspace themselves.  If you search the archives,
I've pointed out this same problem.

One thing you do lose with the kernel demuxing system is the relationship
between the different streams.  For instance, a PMT change takes effect for
all packets that follow it, but with the demuxed streams, you don't know
where that is.

Of course if you want to work with existing systems, you have to demux in
userspace since no one will have this new feature yet.  And if you're doing
that anyway, it's more work to add additional support for demuxed TS
streams to your software.  That probably why no one has bothered to add
this feature.
