Feature request: Option to disable the player #296

Description

@FakeMichau

Cava processes the audio even when the player is paused. This causes an unnecessary increase to CPU usage. Having an option to disable the small player would workaround this issue.

Alternatively, if that's possible, disabling cava when the player is paused would fix the issue all together. There is some weirdness in ax-shell when there are multiple mpris players which could complicate things.

Edit: changed the wording as I now better understand how the small player works.
