currentTime resets to 0

[Xendergo]

When I play the file, currentTime() increases as normal, but when I call pause() it resets to 0, but when I play it again, it goes back to whatever time you called pause at.

I've noticed this too, but I can't tell if it is intended or not. My guess is that maybe it is p5.sound's current way of eliminating DC in the signal when paused.

What I have done to circumvent it in a sound file player where I want the playhead to maintain the position point when paused, is to store a snapshot of currentTime() into a variable right before calling pause(), and using that variable to draw the playhead in the case that the soundfile is paused.

//inside event listener
if (!mySound.isPlaying()) {
   mySound.play();
} else {
   pausedSoundTimePoint = mySound.currentTime(); // <- snapshot currentTime() before pausing
   mySound.pause();
} 

then when drawing the playhead, toggle between using pausedSoundTimePoint and currentTime() based on whether or not the soundfile is playing...

//inside draw function
if (!mySound.isPlaying()) { 
   soundCurrentTime = pausedSoundTimePoint;
} else {
   soundCurrentTime = mySound.currentTime();
}
line(soundCurrentTime*width/soundDuration, 0, soundCurrentTime*width/grooveDuration, height);

It seems there's a bug in p5sound.

I get the above in the console when trying to getCurrentTime(). I only ever get zero back

Fixed by #542, but not released I think - current release of p5 doesn't have this fix.
