Thanks.

I'll try to expand the commit message to make it more clear before
committing.

FYI, the way ffmpeg deals with missing PAT/PMT is by automatically creating
streams for any PIDs that appear containing PES streams.

In this case, those extra pids are not in the file, so the streams were
only getting created because of the erroneous PMTs being seen.
