Yes, right now, the application has to calculate the image dimensions
itself if it wants to scale like this (which isn't all that complex,
but it's obviously easier to have this happen automatically).

Adding a force-aspect-ratio property (like some of the video sinks
have) would probably be reasonable to do.
