 Yes I did! Software player was MPC-BE 
(MediaPlayerClassic-BlackEdition)

 As reported already, audio stayed in sync with video 
throughout the file's duration. 

 On the 8 places where there were segments missing, 
you could instantly recognise a missing part but, other than 
that, the transition was "smooth" and required no 
user intervention...

My "method" was just an experiment - 
I never claimed it to be a cure for the original 
issue - demuxing elementary streams from 
the --raw .ts file and muxing them back into 
MP4 (via ffmpeg or MP4Box) will just render 
an already downloaded file watchable, 
i.e. with A/V in sync, if the watcher actually 
doesn't mind a few (depends on file) missing 
segments...
