[MPlayer-users] a pause before playback

[Justin Mattock]

Hello; I'm wanting to know how I can have mplayer pause before dvd
playback i.g. upon wakeup from suspend mplayer starts
automatically playing the dvd, the problem I have is my cdrom drive
can't catch up to the dvd playback causing

So If mplayer can pause for a few so the drive can catch up, then
maybe this(above) won't happen.
Overall my goal is to have a dvd playing, perform a suspend, then upon
wake up dvd playback without a flaw.
