Confirmed.

Yes, this works also, though if one immidiatly presses play, the video
seems to be a bit jerky. This might be because there's not enough
buffered video yet, and just pressing pause, wait a second or two and
play again lets the video play alright. So your initial idea with a two
seonds pause in menu.c might be also needed.
