Seems strange. The up/down/left/right arrow keys function well in mpv with
sample2.aac here even after I "chmod 444" it:

* https://filesamples.com/formats/aac

* https://www.shlomifish.org/Files/files/music/mp3-ogg/sample2.aac

even "mpv https://www.shlomifish.org/Files/files/music/mp3-ogg/sample2.aac"
works fine.

I am using mageia v8/x86-64 (and note that I am sighted).
