I found the same things. live.2007.04.24a

in file RTSPClient.cpp: function

Boolean RTSPClient::playMediaSession(MediaSession& session,
                                     float start, float end, float
scale) {
................
line 1096
    if (fTCPStreamIdCount == 0) { // we're not receiving RTP-over-TCP
      // Arrange to handle incoming requests sent by the server

envir().taskScheduler().turnOnBackgroundReadHandling(fInputSocketNum,

(TaskScheduler::BackgroundHandlerProc*)&incomingRequestHandler, this);
    }

If you comment out this code block, than you can always resume from
 pause. Otherwise this is like a russian roulette :-). 

getResponse -> getResponse1 -> (pause/resume okey)
OR
incomingRequestHandler -> incomingRequestHandler1 -> getResponse1 ->
you are blocked in select
