actually, it doesn't work. the relevant config entries should be

vo=x11
vop=scale=648:-2,pp

with those, monitoraspect doesn't do anything. and the manpage lists wrong
options for the scale plugin (-2 and -3 aren't mentioned, just -1, which
doesn't do what the manpage says, it just uses the original height iirc).
