Odd - if the connection was using port 7654 (or whatever the port was),
that *should* have worked.  (I just tried "port 80", and it found an
HTTP fetch I did, but didn't find any of the streaming MP3 traffic
to/from some other port that's currently playing my favorite radio
station.)

For that one, you want a filter of just "giop".
