Title:
  Totem DBus pause method doesn't work

Status in totem package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The Play() method works, as does the PlayPause() method, but the
  Pause() method does nothing. I'm writing an application that uses the
  Pause() method for media players, and Rhythmbox and VLC work fine, but
  Totem requires the workaround that Pause() be replaced by PlayPause().

  If you're using qdbusviewer or something like that, you can locate the bug here:
  Session Bus
  Service: org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.totem
  Object: /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2
  Interface: org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player
  Method: Pause

  Relevant files:
  /usr/lib/totem/plugins/dbus
  I tried to fix the bug by changing the contents of the Pause(self) method to
      @dbus.service.method (dbus_interface = 'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player',
                            in_signature = '', # pylint: disable-msg=C0103
                            out_signature = '')
      def Pause (self):
          if not self.totem.is_playing ():
              return
          self.totem.action_play_pause ()
  because the Play and PlayPause methods work fine, but this wasn't successful.

  Related problems:
  * Totem's Unity right-click menu is inconsistent with Rhythmbox's.
      Totem's menu has play/pause as one entry
      Rhythmbox lists play and pause separately, but play does nothing if Rhythmbox is playing and pause does nothing if Rhythmbox is already paused.
  * Totem doesn't have DBus enabled by default.
  * Totem's DBus integration is nonstandard (Bug #642172)

  Thanks.
