Is it possible to PAUSE sound right where the playhead is at…not STOP it…but pause it with AS…pretty much, I want to have a pause button, and when you press play the sound resumes…also, it would be nice if when you press play…if the sound is stopped that it would start from the beginning…is this making any sense?
