For some reason only the first eight interleaved RTSP channels are supported by
epan/dissectors/packet-rtsp.c. This is a problem for us as one of our servers
use the channel numbers in a round robin fashion and will thus use all 256
channels. The limit on eight channels will also make the behaviour of Wireshark
seem somewhat random as it will sometimes dissect a stream and sometimes not
without any apparent reason for the behaviour (unless you look at the source
code)...

My guess at the limit on eight channels is to reduce the memory footprint, but
memory is cheap these days so I hardly believe this to be a real problem.
Anyway, here is a patch to rectify this situation.
