This is bad. From all I know, it seems that such specs-violating mpeg streams
are quite common and that the authoritative information should be taken from
the .ifo file. (BTW: mplayer ignores PAR from mpeg2dec completely)

Now, the question is how to solve this. I see two possibilities: 
- create a dvdmpeg2dec that will try guess the correct PAR knowing that the
given stream is from DVD. But I do not know how to handle this by autopluggers
(put dvdstream=true to caps?)
- propagate the information from .ifo file to mpeg2dec somehow. Probably using
application event - but this assumes that the source is dvdsrc.
