Yes, I've already spent quite a while going over the user and 
developer documentation. I've also already downloaded and sniffed 
around the source. End result: little detailed enlightenment.

Well, I'm an OS X man by choice, but Wireshark is so much better 
integrated into Windows that I use it there.

Ah: that's the info I was looking for. Suggestion: add a pointer to 
the wireshark/doc directory to the very top of the developer's guide; 
less-experienced open-source developers (like myself) might not know 
to look there.

After a lot of grepping, I found the text-based media dissection code 
at epan/dissectors/packet-text-media.c. I'll start my work there.


Thanks,
Dan
