These are specified in the v4l2_mpeg_stream_type enumeration in
mythtv/libs/libmythtv/videodev2_myth.h, so MythTV is certainly aware
of them, even if they are not enabled:

/*  MPEG streams */
#define V4L2_CID_MPEG_STREAM_TYPE               (V4L2_CID_MPEG_BASE+0)
enum v4l2_mpeg_stream_type {
    V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_TYPE_MPEG2_PS   = 0, /* MPEG-2 program stream */
    V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_TYPE_MPEG2_TS   = 1, /* MPEG-2 transport stream */
    V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_TYPE_MPEG1_SS   = 2, /* MPEG-1 system stream */
    V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_TYPE_MPEG2_DVD  = 3, /* MPEG-2 DVD-compatible stream */
    V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_TYPE_MPEG1_VCD  = 4, /* MPEG-1 VCD-compatible stream */
    V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_TYPE_MPEG2_SVCD = 5, /* MPEG-2 SVCD-compatible stream */
};
