Problem solved!
It was not a bug, it was an important feature!  When I looked at the
properties of my video file using GSpot, I noticed that although the pixel
aspect ratio was 1.25 (5:4), the reported display aspect ratio was 1.364
(15:11).  This means that the video was intended to be stretched and the
information about it was embedded in the video file.  It seems that
d3dvideosink is more clever than I thought and reads the display aspect
ratio from the video file and resizes the image accordingly.

One more good reason for using d3dvideosink :)
