It's basically a case of coupling scale in the media object with  the
density floats/vectors (and/or scattering {}).

 Container {
 //etc., etc.
   media {
 //blah, blah
     density { rgb <.1,.2,.3> } //increase if scale decreases
   }
  scale <.5,.5,.5> //decreased scale, reverse if scaling up
 }
