If I try that I get:

linux:~/VDR # ./vdr -P"softdevice -vo xv:aspect=wide"
[softdevice] processing args
[softdevice]   argv [0] = softdevice
[softdevice]   argv [1] = -vo
[ProcessArgs] xv: startup aspect ratio set to wide (16:9)
[softdevice] initializing Plugin
[softdevice] Initializing Video Out
[softdevice] ffmpeg version(0.4.9-pre1) build(4718)
[softdevice] Xv out failure !
[softdevice] Video Out seems to be OK
[softdevice] Initializing Audio Out
[softdevice] Audio out seems to be OK
[softdevice] A/V devices initialized, now initializing MPEG2 Decoder

/var/log/message gives me:
