Well, currently -s does not change it, why -vf scale should change it ?

You cannot set frame_aspect_ratio unconditionally anymore if you want
"-aspect" to work with libavfilter.
And -aspect is required to work for the stream copy case., which makes
the cli very inconsistent if "-aspect" does not work when encoding.

I double checked my tree and I don't have these changes, this must be an
old patch.

Not only, aspect ratio information is not printed correctly in
dump_format and this heavily confuses people.

I don't care about this, I want the situation fixed. It's been two
months and nobody cares about it, that proves that no dev actually use
ffmpeg.

Here is what I have in my tree since a lot of time now.
Btw why would the pad filter sets sar to 1:1 anyway ?
