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

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.

42) <h3>Input Synchronization Stream</h3>
43) <p>
44) The player can be synchronized to a master by using a synchronization
45) stream.
46) To achieve this, the name of the synchronization stream is written to
47) the file <code>insync</code>.
48) The player will then seek to the movie and the position requested via
49) the synchronization stream.
50) It will also go to pause mode whenever the synchronization stream
51) requests it.
