Oh, right, I remember this bug.  I never understood the
cause of it, so it's nice to see it explained.

I don't even know what to say.

Only way I can think of is to check two or three values of
the elapsed time and see if they are, uh, almost the same.

But once we detect the paused state, we will never be able
to detect when the unpause happens, because we can't check
the elapsed time while paused!

Wow, this is so incredibly stupid.

I guess I'll add the `pausing_keep' prefix anyway, as a lame
pseudo-workaround.  That behavior is better than the current,
and at least makes it more evident that mplayer is to blame.

Thanks for explaining this, Daniel.
