Pausing would be easy, but MIDI controller changes can be sent at any
time and affect all current and following notes, so when forwarding, the
player would have to send all intermediate controller messages, and when
rewinding, it would have to replay all controller messages from the
beginning of the file.  It is possible to drop messages that are
overwritten by a later change to the same controller, but this does not
work for SysEx messages whose format isn't known.


Best regards,
