I'm a little concerned about what happens in RewritePMT when a program  
has multiple audio PIDs associated with it, e.g. a second audio  
program.  I think it will probably latch onto the last one in the  
table, which probably *is* the Spanish, French, or descriptive audio  
program.
Instead of setting video_pid and audio_pid in RewritePMT, can you  
decode them out of the PAT when you find the desired_program (where you  
currently set the pmt_pid), choosing the first audio PID?
