Expected behavior of the wanted feature
Add a feature to delay buffering until the remaining cache reach a percent of the demuxer-max-bytes.
This will be helpful for watching large videos offline (specially with an external hard drive) with sizes more than demuxer-max-bytes.
The current behavior is it starts buffering continuously to satisfy demuxer-max-bytes. It makes the external HDD spin non stop until the video is paused or closed. The OS can't put the ext HDD to sleep leading to worse battery life for laptops.
Alternative behavior of the wanted feature

Even if you think it's not necessary at first, it might help us later to find
possible issues. Make a log file made with -v -v or --log-file=output.txt, paste
it to https://0x0.st/ or attach it to the github issue, and replace this text
with a link to it.
