This new pause control is useful for both: In skins with three buttons offering a play/stutter button on left click and for mapping Numark Devices like the ndx900. (Numark offers a Virtual DJ Mapping looking like this <map value="PAUSE" action="pause_stop"/><map value="PLAY" action="play_stutter"/> )

Without the "pause" control it is not possibel (or very hard) to set the Pause LED correct in any case.
