Changes in the source projection are currently not supported. It would 
cause the exact same issues we have with restarting a vout (because the 
one used may not be the correct one, on Win7 for example a D3D9>OpenGL 
switch is needed) and it would break the direct rendering in use.

The PAR/SAR are just metadata that are supported dynamically by all vout 
that support direct rendering. If they don't support DR it would be OK 
to recreate them.

So the real issue is to support the dynamic source change properly when 
DR is used. Some properties are easily handled, some are not.
