Currently, when ffplay is paused, it still constantly polls for events 
at the
REFRESH_RATE (100 times per second). This leads to a high (5-10% on the 
latest
commit, using SDL2 2.28.5-1) CPU usage, when it should be idle.

This commit changes this behaviour to use SDL_WaitEvent while paused, 
allowing
ffplay to use less (0-5% under X11) CPU time while paused on supported 
platforms
(windows, X11 and wayland) with SDL versions >=2.0.16.

This has the side effect of only running the refresh loop when there's 
an event,
preventing the cursor from being hidden while paused.

Was this always this way? Or upstream SDL changed something making the 
Pump/GetEvent more resource intensive? Polling like 100 times per 
second should not cause 10% cpu usage...

ALso, can this patch be made less intrusive? E.g. changing current code 
around av_usleep(remainig time) to:

if (*remainig_time > 0.0) {
   if (is->paused)
       SDL_WaitEventTimeout(NULL, 100);
   else
       av_usleep()
}

Regards,
Marton
