I have a couple commercial LAN protocol Analyzers that do decode RTP
automatically, but they are not worth the price.  

I just wish I could export/save as to Sniffer WAN format so I can run my RTP
Payload extraction tool on Ethereal capture files :) and save a couple
steps.

Yup.  There's an item in the FAQ about this:

Make sure you select the correct port number - if the packet you've
selected is an RTP request, select "destination" after "UDP", and if the
packet you've selected is an RTP response, select "source" after "UDP" -
or just select "both".
