Because a Transport Stream demultiplexor was not needed for 
streaming.  MPEG Program Streams are streamed - via RTP - as separate 
RTP streams (one for audio; one for video), and so need to be 
demultiplexed into Elementary Streams before streaming.  However, 
MPEG Transport Streams, being more suited for overcoming data loss, 
are streamed 'as is', without demultiplexing.
