Hi,
I've added a note on RTP timestamp, please review.
Best regards

Hi Anders,
since this too is a recurring question, perhaps you (or someone else) could
add it to the Wiki, just under what i added last week:
http://wiki.wireshark.org/RTP_statistics (bottom).
(I'm sorry, i don't have the time right now).

br,
Lars
