well, it would be nice if monitoraspect would be used in the scale plugin
when zoom isn't selected. right now i have a fixed aspect in my config and
have to play when a movie isn't 4:3.

btw, the manpage mentions -1 for scale to use the aspect ratio of the movie,
but actually it is -3 for movie aspect, -2 for monitor resolution aspect
(without using -monitoraspect).
