I think aspect is not actually the issue here, the idea is making -fs
not do any scaling of it's just a few pixels.
This probably could be extended to prefer exactly 2x, 0.5x etc. scaling
if the difference is only small, it is likely to look better with bad
scalers.
But it definitely belongs somewhere in libvo (almost certainly in
aspect.c), not in the demuxer.
