Describe the bug
When I play a cast with --loop, I cannot exit it. <ctrl+c>, <ctrl+d>, and <ctrl+z> do nothing.
space pauses playback but I still can't exit it. I have to open a new terminal and kill the asciinema process.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

asciinema play --loop demo.cast
<ctrl+c>
Still playing

Expected behavior
Asciinema playback can be stopped with <ctrl+c>.

Versions:

OS: Linux 6.13.3-arch1-1
asciinema cli: asciinema 3.0.0-rc.3
terminal: foot version: 1.20.2-107-gc63202ee (Feb 10 2025, branch 'master') +pgo +ime +graphemes +toplevel-icon +system-bell -assertions`
