hmm.
i think i know what is the problem: mpeg detection runs in 2 pass:
pass 1: search for mpeg PS packets.
pass 2: search for mpeg PES packets.
but as stdin isn't seekable, it can't seek back and run pass2 :(

i'll try to find a workaround.
i think i'll merge PS and PES demuxer code to avoid this.
