Yes, it should.
You might recompile with GNASH_DEBUG_SDL_AUDIO_PAUSING defined
in libsound/sdl/sound_handler_sdl.cpp to see when it is stopped
and when resumed.

Indeed I see no call to NetStream_as::detachAuxStreamer
reachable from NetStream_as::update. That call seems to be
only performed on an explicit NetStream.close() or NetStream.pause().
I guess we should instead detach on playStop event and reattach
on seek.

Unfortunately I've no time to work on that any soon.
Jonas: maybe you want to look at it as part of your summer project ?
