MPEG-TS and MPEG-PS can have a new PMT (TS) or PSM (PS) at any time to 
do any of the following: modifying current streams, adding new streams, 
or removing streams.  Therefore, to fully support those containers, you 
need to check if the version numbers have changed anyways (or be 
notified by a callback).

libavformat/mpeg.c does not use the program_stream_map_version.
