Feature request #298: REQUEST: Option to do "play" and "pause", but never "playpause"

From a pair of user emails:

----------

This isn't a bug per se, but a problem I've had with the play/pause button (or hotkey) with Synergy is that isn't the equilvalent of actually telling iTunes to play/pause, like sending iTunes a playpause command in AppleScript. Namely the disadvantage to this is that if the selected playlist in iTunes is not the playlist containing the current track, pressing the pause button in Synergy will cause the current track to stop completely, and pressing it again (with the intent to continue playing the track) will cause whatever the currently selected track is to start playing from the beginning. This is the same behavior of the play/pause/stop button in the iTunes application, but not necessarily what I'd like the Synergy play/pause button to do.

Would it be possible for there to be an option to fix this? (Seems like a relatively simple thing to do.) Perhaps an extra button in the advanced section to specify which behavior the user prefers?

----------

As it turns out, I was wrong. The iTunes AppleScript command "playpause" actually does do the same thing as the play/pause/stop button in the application itself, and as such has the same inherent problem that my previous email was about.

As far as a feature request goes, this might be pushing it, but change what I said from having the play/pause button actually send a playpause command (which is almost certainly what it already does) to running or performing the equilvalent of the following appleScript:

tell application "iTunes" if player state is playing then pause else play end if end tell

which, though it is a bit asinine, actually does pause or play the current track, no matter what the selected playlist or track in iTunes is.
