Hmm ... tried changing the backend to xine and all I got was the player 
skipping all tracks in turn, playing nothing.  Not a viable solution in 
my case.

Have reverted to GStreamer.  I guess that until upstream is fixed, I 
will be stopping rather than pausing. 

The other thing I have noticed is that adding new songs to the current 
playlist automatically shuffles to the first track of the new playlist 
... even mid-song.  This really is a PITA.

Are developers aware of this issue, do you know?
