Pause key in PrBoom+

Silly question time. Is there a way to stop or pause the music while pausing PrBoom+ with the Pause key? The reason I ask is that I would like to use the pause key when, say, the phone rings (it happens a lot!) to mute the game as well as halt gameplay...

"mus_pause_opt 1" and it is default behaviour (if you remove cfg)

Ok, I'll replace "mus_pause_opt 2" with "mus_pause_opt 1" for included cfgs in release package for next releases.

Thank you. :)

By the way, in vanilla the music really stops, but in prboom-plus it just mutes.

SDL_mixer is incapable of pausing native MIDI output. 9_9

Muting the sound is good enough imho. It achieves the same goal in day today use while playing. It works a treat for me anyway!

Only when using SDL_mixer; otherwise it works fine.

mus_pause_opt 0 // 0 = kill music, 1 = pause, 2 = continue
