 Thanks for this new release and your continued work on the project. Aspect ratio feature feature works well. I am unclear how to set which AR I prefer in the config file, however. I see the AR options described there, but unsure how to "set" it in that config file.

Speed is improved from alpha 5 release about 10% on my system. Enabling sound slows the video speed somewhat (about 15-20%, but I'm using VSBHDA v. 1.9 on an Intel IHD PCI built in card to emulate SB16).

One technical question: Do you know if it's possible to switch from LFB writeback combining to using bankswitched mode on DUGL player? My system does not allow writeback cache combining by changing the MTRRs (for example with RayeR's MTRRLFBE utility), but does support bankswitched cache write combining (As tested with the XVESA 2.0 utility).

Using bankswitched writecombining instead of LFB will massively improve speed for me, by factor of 10x or more.
