In total agreement Ben, if you listen for an EFFECT_START event you should be
able to pause() the effect. I can't think of many scenarios where you listen to effect events and don't want to manipulate the effect. An explanation why this is not possible from someone who knows would be awesome.

A significant portion of my architecture will need to change if effects cannot be paused/canceled from within the EFFECT_START listener. Considering the event's name and the fact that isPlaying returns true it sure seems like I should be able to. Any help is greatly appreciated.
