Banshee doesn't stay paused after skipping track

[Adam Lukens]

Binary package hint: banshee-daap

Sometimes I'll skip through the entire library while on random to find a good song. Normally, I'll let it play so I don't have to read the titles, but today I decided that I would leave it paused so as to not annoy my room-mate until I actually decided on a song. Unlike most audio players, you don't seem to be able to leave it paused whilst skipping tracks. I believe this is a bug, but it may be a feature. Anyone have any idea?

Steps to reproduce:
  1.) Play a song.
  2.) Pause said song.
  3.) Hit "Play Next Song"
  4.) Notice that it is no longer paused.

I'm very sorry, I had forgotten this bug was still open. It is still a problem as of Banshee v0.13.1 in Gutsy Gibbon. Again, the "next track" and "previous track" buttons start playing songs. This is a problem for me, because I like to search randomly through the library for songs I like without hearing snippets every quarter of a second. Since the pause is a toggle, I'm of the opinion that it should stay paused even after choosing to go to the next or previous track. It may be the way the banshee developers wanted it, I'm just letting you guys know. I peeked through the source-code, and it seems that in ./src/Core/Banshee/PlaylistModel.cs in the function PlayIter(), it doesn't check to see whether it is paused or not.
