Yes, but noone implements this (at either the server or client ends), 
so it's not useful.  It would also be nontrivial to implement at the 
server end, because we would need to parse timestamp data within the 
Program Stream.

If you want to do this, then you should convert your Program Stream 
data to Transport Stream files (e.g., using our 
"testMPEG1or2ProgramToTransportStream" demo application), and stream 
the Transport Stream files.  Streaming MPEG Transport Stream files is 
very common, and well-supported by both servers and clients.
