I guess I was thinking:

1. Try "heuristics" if payload type isn't already registered.
2. Try "heuristics" first, then if failed, explicitly try payload type.
3. User preference in rtp to determine 1 or 2 (if we can't decide if 1 or 2 is
definitely the way to go or just like the flexibility)

So far only BT would be involved in the heuristics, and the heuristics could be
as simple as checking for a preexisting value in a packet (use p_add_proto_data
in BT dissector before rtp dissector is called then the heuristic would just
use p_get_proto_data and return false if not present)
