Interesting link.

Although:
"mp2psd was written because all of the free software MPEG 2 demultiplexers I
could find were very slow, and did not output the offset between the first video
and audio timestamps."

mpeg2desc from dvdauthor seems to meet both of these criteria.

a)  when using mpeg2desc + mplex, I am I/O bound, not CPU bound.  I don't think
a different demultiplexer is going to make my hard drive faster.  :)
b)  mpeg2desc will output the audio offset.
