Add an optional grace period to "Display Speakers Only", so people who stop speaking aren't immediately hidden.
This works, but (sensibly) the "overlay_draw" function is only actually called when something changes. This means that if nobody speaks, which forces the overlay to redraw, then nobody will ever be hidden either.
To resolve this, I would have to force the overlay to re-render at least once per second. I have no idea how to do that, as I'm not familiar with GTK :smile:
What do you think, @trigg? Is it acceptable to force a minimum redraw interval of 1 second? It shouldn't actually make any difference to most people since the overlay already redraws multiple times per second in active voice channels.
If yes, how do I do that?
If no, do you have any alternative suggestions for how to implement this feature?
