MPlayer exits the pause state on lots of occasions, like when changeing 
the volume or doing a seek.

If fullscreen mode is switched on or off, the new output buffer needs to 
be filled. The frame which is already displayed is not cached. So a 
frame has to be decoded to be displayed. The easiest way to do this is 
to exit pause mode.

When using salve commands, you can use "pausing_keep" which will only 
play one frame, and then go back to pause mode.
