How would you write GtkApplication based things differently, what's the
"correct" and modern way from what you understand?

Calling that init function should not be necessary as tsdemux already
does that too. Unless you use API from the MPEG-TS library before
tsdemux does anything.

But yes that sounds like you want to use the MPEG-TS library. To handle
e.g. the PAT and PMT messages from tsdemux. Bindings for that would
have to be generated first, but for this case it shouldn't be very
difficult or much work. The MPEG-TS library is simple.
