Yes, the discussion is probably best done on the dev list.

Note, though, that there are other capture formats that don't provide a traffic
type for ATM cells/AAL5 PDUs; the routines in wiretap/atm.c are used to try to
infer the traffic type from the VPI/VCI and the data in the PDU.

We're using preferences for a number of items that should be per-conversation
settings, along with a much broader definition of "conversation" that would
include connections both above and below the transport layer, including ATM
virtual circuits.  Such a mechanism is probably what's called for here if the
heuristics from wiretap/atm.c are insufficient, so you can mark particular ATM
VCs as having a particular traffic type.  (This also involves a generalization
of the "Decode as..." mechanism.)  But, again, that's probably something where
the discussion should start on wireshark-dev.
