I've written a dissector that decrypts packets on the fly. However the problem
is that the key is only stored in a process and changes for every run. 

I've made some hacks and now my dissector is able to set the correct key into
the settings for my dissector. So i can decrypt packets just fine.

HOWEVER when we save the captured packet all changes made to tvbuffs (and even
frame buffs, i did some testing) are lost.

So atm there is no way to change a packet (aka decrypt it) and save the
decrypted packet.

As i said, for my example (and i know enough examples) its not possible (when
using the standart pcap formats) to store the encrypted packets and then keep
decrypting them on the fly because of the changing key.

So my request is i would love a function to modify the real packet data. Or
some pointers on where these data pointer resides or how to acces them. Then i
can write a patch myself. Currently i'm working my way through the code but its
just huge!
