But it'll only be able to detect that traffic automatically *if* the
H.245 packets or RTSP that set up the session are in the capture (and if
the session was set up using H.245 or RTSP).  If you capture the middle
of some RTP session, or if some other protocol is used to set up the
session, you'll still have to use "Decode As".
