It works well for me, and I did not read any sources, just the docs. I admit, there was a bit of trial-and-error, but after I finally understood what the docs meant everything worked great. But, one thing comes to my mind. I'm missing a slave command like "PLAY" which unpauses when in pause mode and doing nothing when playing. "frame_step" is some kind of replacement which does the opposite: It switches to pause mode, nevermind if from pause or play. So now I use "frame_step \n pause \n" to switch to play mode, but it's a really ugly hack. Greets, Kiste
