I believe that the size will be by default the same of the
corresponding input stream (according to the mapping mechanism), but I
need to verify this.

Otherwise looks fine to me, provided that you verified this is indeed
the behavior.

(Also I note that it looks weird to have a mention of ffserver in the
ffmpeg manual, maybe you could simply drop the "(ffserver default =
160x128, ffmpeg default = ...)" part.)
