The use of any command which has this prefix will cause MPlayer to pause
immediately after completing the action.

Normally, the use of any command while paused will cause MPlayer to
unpause. The use of any command which has this prefix will instead cause
MPlayer to remain paused. (If MPlayer is not paused when the command is
issues, the prefix does nothing.)

The use of any command which has this prefix will cause MPlayer to pause
immediately afterwards if it is unpaused, or unpause immediately if it
is paused.

This is in (and more-or-less paraphrased *from*) the documentation; see
DOCS/tech/slave.txt.
