"Tapping" isn't a generic concept - for any particular dissector, you'd 
have to figure out what information to supply.  For some protocols, 
supplying the information from the protocol header would be the right 
answer, but if there's more than a fixed-length header with a fixed set 
of fields, you'd have to decide which, if any (or all) of the 
information from the protocol should be supplied to the tap.
