I suspected that's what you wanted.

There's already a mechanism for calling a routine whenever a
redissection is done, including when a new capture file is opened - see
"register_init_routine()" in "epan/packet.c".  Given that a redissection
could change what RTP streams exist (e.g., if you do a "Decode As"),
that's the right thing to do.

Note that the routine is called even on the *first* open.
