In _most_ cases, this is the right thing: The player Emms uses is
a separate process, and won't be bothered by Gnus. (Restarting
with a new song doesn't work, but that's something we have to live
with)

I would agree with Daniel here that the right approach is to
ignore the problem---the real solution would be to query the play
time from the player, which is difficult at best.

For pausing etc., you'd need to remember the duration of that as
well, using the same method.
