Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] capturing from a named pipe - other file formats

At the moment wireshark only supports the libpcap trace file format when capturing from a named pipe or stdin. I would like to extend this to support the EyeSDN trace file format for captures from ISDN interfaces. Would this cause any problems? What would be a good place to start? The EyeSDN trace file format has a magic at the start so the file format could be detected. Or would we need an additional command line parameter to specify the format?

Thanks,
Rolf
