Hi
I'm working a lot with RTP captures for VoIP analysis.
So i wanted to change the fact that Ethereal did not automatically detect
RTP, when present.
I thought of coding a heuristic dissector, but then i saw that there was
already something in packet-rtp.

In packet-rtp.c,
the dissect_rtp_heur dissector is registered in the rtp_add_address
function.
But the last seems to be never called from anywhere! (as far as i can see)
How does it work? What does it do?

(I'm working on the codebase of 0.9.12)
