Howe many of these are we handling so far?

Whether we handle "ASN.1" depends on what you mean by "ASN.1"; we dissect a number of protocols that use ASN.1 BER/DER and PER encodings.

We have H.225, H.246, H.261, and H.263 dissectors, although I don't know how much of those we dissector or, if we don't handle all of them, what's missing.

I think "H.323" isn't a protocol but a suite of protocols, including the ones mentioned in the previous paragraph.

We don't dissect G.711 except as data - I suspect it might just be a sequence of 8-bit(?) sound samples, but perhaps not. We don't appear to have dissectors for G.72{389}.

I don't remember what Q.850 is, offhand; we do have a dissector for Q.931, but not the other Q. protocols (unless there's nothing to dissect, or if they're just small addenda to other protocols and we already handle those addenda).

We have a dissector for RFC 2974 SAP; we dissect the Simple Service Discovery Protocol as HTTP; we also have a dissector for RFC 2543 SIP.

(Is that Wildpackets' list of VoIP protocols they handle?)
