hmm I think we should supply all aspect calculation stuff in mplayers common 
code, which then can be queried with the wanted resolution and combined with 
non-aquare pixel regulations and monitor aspect.
This should be optional, so that VOs which can't scale don't need to use it.

I'd like to have some talkbacks with Steve Davies about the non-square pixel 
and anamorphic stuff, to find adequate solutions for it.
Btw. some of the info for anamorphic dvd needs to be parsed from IFO afaik, 
is this possible with libdvdread?
