The simplest way is just not to put the property 'repeat-map'
on the symbol of the command that stops media.  Then executing
this command will terminate the repeat.

It's no easy to do the same from Lisp because in repeat-post-hook
the value of 'exitfun' returned from 'set-transient-map' is not
exposed outside.  Maybe the value of 'exitfun' should be stored
in a variable?  Currently 'exitfun' is used only by repeat-exit-timer.

Or you could put 'repeat-exit-key' on 'unread-command-events'.
