Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Patch to prevent rtp/rtcp to register conversation when disabled

Here is a patch (against nightly build 2004-07-02) to prevent both
RTCP and RTP to create conversations when the respective protocols
are disabled.

It solves for me the problem that in packet-sdp.c the function
rtp_add_address(... srcport ...) is blindly followed by
rtCp_add_address(..srcport+1...).
Since the SDP decoder can't now if RTCP is present or not, that
seems to be the only way to create a conversation for RTCP.
(IFF RTCP is present, it IS at the RTP port + 1)

However, in my trace there were no RTCP but instead RTP packets
at the srcport+1 which were subsequently decoded wrongly as RTCP.
