Sorry, I missed your post (and just saw the thread activity now.) Even though 
the purpose of an explicit play and an explicit stop button is could very 
easily be argued as being redundant in current electronics (a relic from the 
(video)tape player, I guess). If one changes away from it, then it confuddles 
the non techical people in the shortest time.

Thanks very much for digging up this bit. It most certainly solves my problem.

Ever since my previous propriety player refused to play .mkv, I decided that I 
never ever want a unit that relies on the firmware updates from some 
manufacturer. Unfortunately placing my homebrew Gentoo toy in the lounge means 
it must have a leash around its collar. Ma lede was very patient and she does 
enjoy it tremendously. She also accepts as certain amount of quirkyness, but 
it would be nicer if... 

So thanks for this pearl.
