Public bug reported:

The Play() method works, as does the PlayPause() method, but the Pause()
method does nothing. I'm writing an application that uses the Pause()
method for media players, and Rhythmbox and VLC work fine, but Totem
requires the workaround that Pause() be replaced by PlayPause().

If you're using qdbusviewer or something like that, you can locate the bug here:
Session Bus
Service: org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.totem
Object: /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2
Interface: org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player
Method: Pause

Relevant files:
/usr/lib/totem/plugins/dbus
I tried to fix the bug by changing the contents of the Pause(self) method to
    @dbus.service.method (dbus_interface = 'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player',
                          in_signature = '', # pylint: disable-msg=C0103
                          out_signature = '')
    def Pause (self):
        if not self.totem.is_playing ():
            return
        self.totem.action_play_pause ()
because the Play and PlayPause methods work fine, but this wasn't successful.

Related problems:
* Totem's Unity right-click menu is inconsistent with Rhythmbox's.
    Totem's menu has play/pause as one entry
    Rhythmbox lists play and pause separately, but play does nothing if 
Rhythmbox is playing and pause does nothing if Rhythmbox is already paused.
* Totem doesn't have DBus enabled by default.
* Totem's DBus integration is nonstandard (Bug #642172)

Thanks.
