Ok I 'll give it a try, although I'm not sure this will cure problem.
The main problem was, that the SPU data was not scaled along with the 
video. Scaling the video from 4:3 to 16:9 used to work before but 
scaling the the SPU data along, did not.
But I'll try to make the above changes as soon as I get home tonight.

Thanks for taking the time and looking into this matter.
