How do I stop the multimedia plugin?

I have a page with several links to mp3 files. They are correctly filtered by the multimedia plugin filter to display pause and play buttons. When I click on play the streaming begins. When I press pause, the playing stops but the download appears to continue. How do I stop it? Why is there no stop button?

Without a true streaming server at the other end there is no way to say "restart the download from this point". So you need to download the whole file in one go to make the pause/replay work.

That said, a true stop button to throw away the download and start over could probably be added. I didn't write the Flash control, I just hacked on one I found.
