Basically:
   [allocate and fill buffer: data_p = ....]
   my_tvb = tvb_new_real_data(data_p, data_length, data_length)
   add_new_data_source(pinfo, my_tvb, "Title");
   ....
   tvb_free(my_tvb);
   [free buffer: ]


It's possible to set a callback to free storage when the tvb is free'd.

See tvbuff.h
