One thing I am curious about, how different is an mp2 stream from an
mp3 stream? Is it backwards compatible? Can I change the file
extension from .mp2 to .mp3 and fool my ipod? If so you really only
need to demux the stream and change the extension.
Something to look at tonight :-)
(and yes the radio streams on dvb-s freeview in NZ are mp2 in an
mpeg-ts container)
