And how do you, in a multiprogram TS, guess which PIDs belong to the same
program, and with which PCR PID, without the PMT?

A transport stream without a PMT is no better than an AVI file without
a header.  It is *invalid*, and we should IMO make no attempt to support
such things.  The harder it is to play bad files, the more incentive for
people to create them properly in the first place.
