@mscdex: Yes, via close() and listen(). Get the address when you pause, and then when you .resume(), listen on that address again.

It's better not to have this here because a) clearly no one needs it (it's been broken for a very long time, and no one seems to have even noticed), and b) pause/resume have another meaning in the Stream interface.
