You can take the two MPEG system streams and composite them together
with mplex, part of th mjpegtools package in Debian. Doubtless somewhere
similar in other distros. The mpgtx package is also worth a look - it
can demultiplex mpeg streams into audio and video, should you need to
work on them separately.
