P is the default binding for the "pause toggle" functionality.  There is 
also a button for "play" functionality which is currently unbound but 
can be bound (on my machine it's CTRL+P).  From what I've gathered a lot 
of people have their play button mapped to enter, which would end up 
with SELECT I believe.

On a remote control, P = PAUSE for most folks.  Hitting PAUSE to select 
something in the EPG is non obvious and rather pointless when you can 
just turn on "Select changes channel in EPG"  and have easily grokable 
behavior.
