That works with mplayer. The problem is that mplayer thinks the stream
won't change. When you start watching a dvb recording when it's 4:3 or
16:9 it looks fine. But when the stream changes, mplayer does not
rebuild the filter chain based on the new aspect.

Do not try fbxine ...

... use kaa.xine. It should be possible with kaa xine to play on all
output displays xine has. I tested it with xv, vidixfb and dfb,
everything was fine. I did not test the special mga stuff in xinelib
with it, so there may be some changes in the future.

I hope soon. :)
