26)     <h3>Halt Stream</h3>
27)     <p>
28)       The player can be halted whenever another stream is active.
29)       Therefore, the name of the other stream is written to the file
30)       <code>haltstream</code>.
31)       When the halt stream becoms active, the current frame is frozen,
32)       i.e. the frame is kept.
33)       When the halt stream ends, the player resumes with the remaining
34)       time for the current frame and continues as usual afterwards.
35)       <br>
36)       If this feature is not needed, the file <code>haltstream</code>
37)       should not exist.
