You bet. One company which makes particallary nice DVDs (box
design/extras/quality) here in Russia is fond of the strange scheme
"Russian DTS dub/Russian DD dub/Original DTS track". Since I don't want
to listen to dub, dts track is the only choice for me. I also want
subtitles (though sometimes I can rip them beforeahead, of course). 

Anyway, of course I'll try the latest version, since it looks like
someone actually cares about these bugs ;)

So, was _this_ one fixed?
The Wanderer is trying to tell me that fullscreen status activated with 'f'
isn't supposed to override (assumed) global "no-fs" mode. While I consider
this to be a wrong behaviour, at least there is logic behind it. But
there is no reason at all why mplayer would lose fs status on aspect
ratio change.

Of course, no vo/aspect/geometry - related patches.. Anyway I'll try
with latest svn and will report back.

Could it be wm-related?
