Remembering Aspect Ratio; Flickering

[mko]

I've got the following two problems with the newest version, which I didn't have with an old version (I think I had 1.0xsomething).

1. In some files I have to change the aspect ratio by hand, so for example I hit Shift+3 for 4:3. Now it doesn't matter if I am in full screen mode or not - whenever I seek 2 secs or 10 secs or anything for that matter, the player seems to forget my aspect ratio setting (and of course the Auto-Pan-Scan too...)and jumps back to original!
(BTW, an option to set a custom aspect ratio would be nice.)

2. Whenever I seek in a file...(jump 2 or 10 secs) the picture is flickering (like a black frame). This also didn't happen before - please tell me if this is normal (it's kinda annoying).

Thanks for your answers!
(and is there a site where I can download old version of the player?)
