/*! \page structure Structure of the decoders

<p>The PSI decoder and the specific decoder:</p>

<img src="decoder.png" />

<p>Each decoder is split into two entities:</p>

<ul>
  <li>the <em>PSI decoder</em></li>
  <li>the <em>specific decoder</em></li>
</ul>

<p>The reason of this split is that each PSI section has a common
format. The main task of the <em>PSI decoder</em> is to get the TS
packets given by the <em>application</em> and send complete PSI sections
to the <em>specific decoder</em>. The <em>PSI decoder</em> must be
reliable on TS discontinuities and signal them to the <em>specific
decoder</em>.</p>

<p>The task of the <em>specific decoder</em> is to get the PSI sections
given by the <em>PSI decoder</em>, to build complete tables and to send
them back to the <em>application</em>. At the same time it has to check
TS discontinuities signaled by the <em>PSI decoder</em>. </p>

<p>The <em>PSI decoder</em> is common to all the decoders wheras the
<em>specific decoder</em> must be implemented for all the PSI
tables.</p>
