Working as intended, not a bug.

How do I pause playback then?
If it is currently playing - it's ok, but if it's paused it starts playing.
I want to pause unconditionally.

#!/bin/sh
if ! audtool playback-paused ; then audtool playback-pause ; fi

The forum is the best place for "how to" questions.

Ok, that's one way of doing this, but

if audtool playback-playing; then audtool playback-pause; fi

doesn't work and it is a bug.
Also by logic there is a special command "playback-playpause" to toggle playback, and "playback-pause" must only pause, not starting playback again if paused.
