Not complete nonsense, because it _is_ possible with resampling.
You said:

And if you scale, you resample anyway. That resampling could be
ulilised for fractional pixel cropping if the scale filter does
the cropping.

I'm not familiar with the implementation of the mplayer's software
scaler, but the scaling algorithms in general are usually pretty
easy to extend to do cropping with very little overhead.
