[jmsl] pause a musicjob?

Hi Peter

Great problem, with no straightforward solution.  You mean a situation 
where a MusicJob with a repeat pause of say 10 seconds is "paused" 2 
seconds into that repeatPause and then when resuming playback waits the 
remaining 8 seconds and continues?

The problem is that JMSL.sleepUntil() has already been called, which 
calls Thread.sleep() which is waiting to wake up 10 seconds later. I 
guess I could something weird like store the  current time when pause is 
engaged, interrupt the thread, and upon interruption calculate how much 
time is left, have it wait forever while in pause, then upon resume 
interrupt again and sleep for the stored difference.  Phil might have a 
more coherent answer than this one...

Thanks as usual for shaking up my brain!
