pause() puts the audio output into pause mode: if supported, it may perform a special action, which keeps the device open, but does not play anything. Output plugins like "shout" might want to play silence during pause, so their clients won't be disconnected. Plugins which do not support pausing will simply be closed, and have to be reopened when unpaused. This pach includes an implementation for the shout plugin, which sends silence chunks.
