Comment (by tomimo at ncircle.nullnet.fi):

 Ok, I've run some tests with the latest patch and I must say I don't quite
 follow the logic of that patch. The problem seems to be that whenever I
 get into a situation where the NuppelVideoPlayer::Play() gets called
 _before_ the NuppelVideoPlayer::Pause() it's a deadlock, as the
 UnpauseVideo()-method is not able to directly wakeup the
 PauseVideo()-method ---> PauseVideo() is waiting for
 video_actually_paused-variable to be true, but the UnpauseVideo()-method
 doesn't touch that variable. Another thing I noticed was that the
 pausevideo-variable is being used without locking, which might create some
 races in some situations.
