Is this really just a vf prob ? Can't it also happen with some vos ?

IMHO there is one problem anyways: some vo's do some additional settings
based on the aspect when config() is called. One that comes to my mind
are the x11 based modules which set the window aspect (if -keepaspect,
which is default). This is never reset (see also my mail about
vo_x11_sizehint on -dev-eng for other problems caused by this). 
IMHO this calls for an other VCTRL (something like VCTRL_ASPECT),
but then again, the behaviour of the vo layer is IMHO outdated anyways
and needs some redesign.
