Embedded Windows Media Player: How to disable or hide the Pause function

[awebber]

I have on a page a couple of streams and I use the typical Media player and it is set to be off when the page loads - it all works great.

I came to find out that if you push the pause button on a player and not the stop that the stream is still coming so you use the bandwidth just the same- so 1 I would like to disable the pause button of not have it show - is there is a switch for that.

But here is the reason for my post - all stations I have tried stop when you push the stop button but in using HTTP Analiyzer I found that one stream continues even when the player is stopped - this is weird as all other station I have tried always stop. Maybe it is some strange steam?

anyway here is the player configuration

If you put that on a page it will seem fine but in truth you cannot turn it off - or keep it from sending data but just keep the data from going to your sound card.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

And let me know if I should ask in another place - thanks a lot
