I'm already using the -zoom option, and the video scales. That's not the 
problem.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but that's not what I got.

For me it always keeps the aspect, either the original aspect of the video or 
the aspect set with -aspect. 

If I use -aspect 3 (or any other value) the video is displayed with that 
specified aspect, and it keeps that aspect all the time. At least that's what 
I'm seeing in smplayer.

All the other vos always fill completely the window passed to mplayer with 
-wid, ignoring the aspect ratio of the video, or the aspect set with -aspect.

Actually smplayer relies on it for the aspect ratio options. smplayer manages 
the aspect ratio by itself. So if the user is playing a 16:9 video and select 
the option to change it to 16:10, smplayer resizes the -wid window 
accordingly for a 16:10 aspect, and mplayer fills all that window with the 
video, so the video is actually 16:10. But this doesn't work with x11, the 
video is still displayed using a 16:9 aspect.

In this screenshot there's a 16:9 video, but I selected (in the smplayer 
menus) to be displayed at 2.35:1. I changed the background color of the -wid 
window to yellow so it can be seen where it is. You can see that the video is 
kept at 16:9, leaving the borders unpainted, but I think it should have 
stretched to fill all the -wid window:

And this is the same but using gl instead of x11. It actually displays the 
video with an aspect of 2:35:1:

xv, gl, directx... all behaves the same, except x11.

BTW, I'm using MPlayer SVN r27978. The options passed to mplayer are 
-nokeepaspect and -zoom.
