 FFplay ignores stdin; only the window spawned can be used to control
 output.

 Steps to reproduce:
 ffplay arbitraryvideofile.mkv # or any other file
 # Go back to spawning terminal emulator. Type in q to quit.

 Expected result:
 FFplay would quit.

 Actual result:
 Terminal emulator receives stdin, FFmpeg does nothing.

 The same applies for all the other hotkeys. This is worse with -nodisp, as
 the lack of a graphical display means that, effectively, there is no way
 to modify the output like change volume. Because of this it is important
 that FFplay takes into account input from stdin.
