No patch to the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" code should be needed; the 
existing code can be used to do what you want - I think.

After you call "RTSPClient::playMediaSession()", simply call 
"scale()" on the "MediaSession" parameter; this tells you the scale 
factor - if any - that the server returned.

If "scale()" returns a value other than 1.0, then you know that the 
server supports scaling (and that the stream will be at the given 
scale).

If, however, "scale()" returns 1.0, then you know that the server 
does not support scaling (or else you didn't request it).
