For that matter, should it also be possible to store in .au format from
the RTP Streams window?
Should both of those offer a "Save stream" button, which pops up a file
save dialog box that offers a choice of file formats (rtpstream for all,
.au for G.711) and a choice of forward/reverse/both directions, rather
than the "Save As" in "RTP Streams" and "Save payload..." in "RTP Stream
Analysis"?

BTW, note that in the Apple Human Interface Guidelines section on
dialogs:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/XHIGDialogs/chapter_17_section_2.html
it says that an alert should have both "Alert message text" that
"provides a short, simple summary of the error or condition that
summoned the alert" and "Informative text" that "provides a fuller
description of the situation, its consequences, and how to get out of
it".
The GNOME HIG section on alerts:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/windows.html#alert-text
is similar (even down to the message text being bigger and boldfaced).
The GNOME HIG also says that the text should be selectable - that lets
you, for example, copy-and-paste it into a message (rather than just
mailing out a screenshot, which takes a lot more octets and isn't
necessarily going to be readable by the recipient). I first noticed
selectable text in alerts on Mac OS X, and was happy to see that the
GNOME HIG was also promoting that.
