Well, here's a weird example for you: Radio Paradise. With most internet radio, including for example the Radio Paradise 320kbps stream, Pause is usually the same Stop or Off, and when you turn it on again you'll pick up the stream again wherever it is in real time. But in the case of the Radio Paradise FLAC streams, which are downloaded in 30-minute blocks, pausing and restarting them often results in unexpected behavior. It may stay in the same block of tracks, it may play a new block with a different theme, or it may fail to start from the Play button and I have to relaunch it from My Apps. I suppose this depends on how long you have it paused and other factors, but I haven't spent much time thinking about how it works. When listening to RP I usually just turn down the volume or remove my headphones when I get a phone call, wishing I had a mute button.
