Yes, I guess that would work, but that would make the code much more
difficult to understand. It took me some time before I realised that the
the calculations of time differences in mplayer work despite wrapping of
time. I prefer to have the code more easy to understand than to save
some storage or a few CPU cycles - or what is wrong with 64-bit time?
