Alas, no! I have been looking for such a device for days now, and havent 
found any yet.

I already use a vlc plugin I have written to decode video from a TS, 
give it to vloopback, then use a TV-grabber designed for TV-boards. That 
works well, so I consider it a proof-of-concept, and would love to do 
the same for audio.

Note that I am quite unfamiliar with ALSA devices, so maybe there is 
something in alsa...

Good idea!
