That's correct. The original authors were apparently only interested in
dissecting GSE, and that was consistent with my use cases, so I left it
that way.

I don't know much about MPEG2-TS. I assume you'd mostly want to dissect the
logical channels that carry IP packets. I'm guessing there isn't much
utility in a detailed dissection of audio or video channels.

I think factoring GSE out makes sense if you can cleanly invoke it from the
DVB-T2 and/or DVB-C2 dissectors. I haven't looked at that, though DVB-T2 is
also of interest for my ham radio project. Do those dissectors even exist
yet?
