This probably means that you've either seeked to the end of the buffer (ie your now watching almost live TV) or you have had some signal quality issues which has meant Xine has read more of the buffer than should normally happen. The log messages are just an indication that live_pause couldn't read any bytes from the buffer, once the starved_count gets to 5 it will pause for 2 seconds to refill the buffer. These log messages aren't really anything to worry about. As for pause not working, I have you left the channel paused for a long time say enough for the buffer to completely fill up? If so you won't be able to pause as you have no where to put the new data. Try seeking forward a bit and then try pausing.
