[Windump] RTP streams - uneven packet counts

It sounds quite strange to me, windump and wireshark use the same underlying 
capture engine.

Can you try capturing with both wireshark and windump at the same time, and 
send me the capture file with the number of the packet that is missing in 
the windump trace?

Have a nice day
