some codecs store aspect ratio, some containers store aspect ratio
we currently have just AVCodecContext.sample_aspect_ratio, and both
demuxers and decoders use that ...
we could add AVStream.sample_aspect_ratio if having just one variable
turns out to be insufficient ...

for the specific case of DV, i think the aspect ratio is part of the
codec stream, but thats surely debatable as dv mixes codec and container
stuff

but maybe i missunderstood your question, due to having no russian stuff
here ;)
