tshark should find the same rtp streams as Wireshark does, but if they
don't find all the streams, you might want to look for rtp in every
stream with:

... -o rtp.heuristic_rtp:TRUE ...

>From the preferences file:
# If call control SIP/H323/RTSP/.. messages are missing in the trace,
# RTP isn't decoded without this
# TRUE or FALSE (case-insensitive).
rtp.heuristic_rtp: FALSE


> 3) run RTP statistics

... -qz rtp,streams ...

>From the tshark manpage:
-z rtp,streams
    Collect statistics for all RTP streams and calculate max. delta,
    max. and mean jitter and packet loss percentages.

The extra 'q' is to make tshark only dump the statistics, not the packet
list.

Putting it all together on the example trace from the wiki
(http://wiki.wireshark.org/SampleCaptures?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=rtp_example.raw.gz):

$ tshark -r rtp_example.raw.gz -o rtp.heuristic_rtp:TRUE -qz rtp,streams
