Play Music Player: should it have a pause button?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Nokia N8
mobbler_gfx.sisx

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Play music in the Music Player

What is the expected output? 
Should the fourth button be a pause icon? (or a stop button, but pause would be 
better).

What do you see instead?
The fourth button is a play icon. Pressing it does nothing.

Strange, I then exited Music Player and tried to play the radio, but the play 
button still did nothing... After rebooting it shows a stop button which works 
as expected. This must have been caused by another bug (that'll I report too).

Anyway, should the stop button be a pause button for the Music Player?

I think it should be a stop button because you can't resume the music player 
from Mobbler. Pause may be misleading.

I don't really understand if you are talking about the current public 
stable/beta version (since I see that "mobbler_gfx.sisx"), but I read about the 
pause support in last.fm, so please forgive me if this comment doesn't apply.
I think that both pause and stop buttons are important, and since both of them 
should appear on the main interface, maybe it's better to replace the 
plus-button menu (and put its items in a sub-menu from the main options menu - 
I'm reporting an issue about that for other reasons).
Another option could be a long pressed button function: single tap/press 
toggles play/pause, long tap/press stops track if playing.

Maurizio, yes, this is the exciting new tea break functionality coming in the 
next release :) mobbler_gfx.sisx is just a dev version.

Eartle, I meant to put this as an enhancement. So do you think we should add 
pause/resume functionality for the music player from Mobbler? There's 
EPbCmdPause in TMPXPlaybackCommand for MMPXPlaybackUtility::CommandL().

I guess we could do pause/resume on the music player as well.  I'm not keen on 
adding stop though, as I don't think it's needed.
