Interface shouldn't be changed by the state of the cache

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When playing a file from the internet, media players often need to fill a
bit of cache before it makes sense to start playing. Once the cache has
been filled, playback starts and everyone is happy.

Except me. Because I don't want teens.avi to start playing while I've
alt-tabbed to my RSS reader, waiting for the cache to fill (which tends to
take a while on my 9600-baud SLIP connection). But the "play/pause" button
was certainly showing the "play" button when I alt-tabbed away, indicating
that it should be in a paused state. Despite this, gnome-mplayer started
playing what really was off_the_hook__20090506.mp3 as soon as the cache
filled. The cache should not influence whether or not I can play/pause
playback. Programs should refrain from modifying the visual UI, even if it
does not always make 100% sense. It's irritating.

Fixed the gui so that the gui is in "play" state, ie the pause button is shown 
while
caching is happening.
