scaling if windows are resized.

Yes, you are right that a fit-to-window-rescaling is often necessary. The ffplay
code delegates this particular responsibility to the SDL library.

My guess is that the developer(s) assumed that SDL has the information to  make
the best choice between 'video card hardware scaling' and 'cpu software
scaling'. So, the ffplay code assumes that a video overlay can always be created
that is big enough to hold the entire unscaled image from the compressed stream.
