           Summary: [BlackBerry] Allow the platform media player to
                    determine the media element's paused/playing status
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit BlackBerry
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: mfeil at rim.com

The platform media player needs to know when the HTMLMediaElement is 
not paused. This is to address problems when switching source element,
which causes the destruction of the old MediaPlayerPrivate object and
construction of a new one. The new one must resume playing ASAP if the 
old one was playing.

This patch makes use of a "layer violation" that occurs frequently
in MediaPlayerPrivateBlackBerry.cpp, namely direct reference to the
HTMLMediaElement object instead of the WebCore MediaPlayer object. I had
no choice because the paused status of the MediaPlayer object does not 
give the correct information. This layer violation along with the others
will be fixed soon under: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84291
