The sigterm_handler() func can perhaps to be used for to store the sig value
into a global variable that is checked after into ffplay ?

    static int force_exit = 0;

    static void sigterm_handler(int sig)
    {
        force_exit = 123;
    }


Somewhere into ffplay, "at the good instant"

   if( force_exit != 0 )
   {
       // close/delete alls necessary stuffs
       ...

       exit(force_exit);
   }
