Same here.

Now I understand what dsize does. So we do 
mplayer -vf expand=:::::monitor_aspect,dsize=fullscreen_values

And we need to create on osd with monitor_aspect, no matter what the
size is? So an osd canvas has a different resolution than freevo
(which uses fullscreen aspect). Or can I create a monitor_aspect
canvas and but it on a fullscreen x window and evas does the scaling?
That would be kind of nice because we could provide a skin for each
monitor_aspect not caring about the real resolution.
