I thought it is correctly identified as mpeg-ps.

That means you have to implement an atrac3p parser, 
see many examples in the libavcodec directory.

If the files can be identified as pmf, please add 
a new field similar to the existing imkh_cctv and 
sofdec fields and use that new field to decide that 
PRIVATE_STREAM_1 packets are atrac3p.
(Additionally, allow users to force atrac3p for 
cut streams with ffmpeg -acodec atrac3p -i input.)
