That's correct.  If you're streaming H.264, then this information (height & 
width) is included in the "sprop-parameter-string" (formed by the stream's SPS 
and PPS NAL units), so receiving media players should not need it to be 
specified separately.  The same is true for most (but perhaps not all) other 
video codecs.

However, if you are trying to save an incoming stream into a ".mov" (or ".mp4") 
or ".avi" file, then the height and width parameters (and also frame-rate) can 
help.
