presumably some users have corrupt files with the wrong ratio stored,
and they start playing them then realize it and want to correct
without restarting. this is especially true for 'settop' box setups.
personally i think they should rm their corrupt files or tag them
somehow so that their frontend knows to use -aspect, but oh well...
