I agree, the button should not lie and hint that playing cannot be resumed 
(i.e. display a stop button in case)

So, is there a way to detect the "pausable" feature or would 
Phonon::MediaObject::pause() automagically lead to a Phonon::StoppedState in 
case?

On the long run:

would it be in scope to provide client side "Time-Shifting" instead?

I.e., redirect the stream into a local cache when pressing the pause button 
and resume from there when you  continue playing?
(this implies that we must either be able to allocate file memory and delete 
it from the front or have a static sized streamcache, overflow it to the 
beginning and keep a pointer to the "oldest" position - in a _reliable_ and 
portable way)

Cheers
Thomas
