PAUSE at-offset is also important for normal play (not only editing). When the
end user clicks
on PAUSE he/she expect to see/hear the stream stop immediately, but there are
packets of
data that are on the way and the server does not know what got to the client.
If the server will
start from where it paused some data might get lost.
