MP3 player that lets you pause live content?

Are there any other Windows MP3 players that have something like RealPlayer's LivePause feature, which "enables pausing and seeking within live Internet clips"?

Winamp 2.x can pause and seek in MP3/M3U Shoutcast streams.

I'm not sure about actual live streams though, but it works just fine in static file broadcast streams. Get older winamp versions from oldversion.com.

i don't use realplayer but i think livepause is just a cache that records streams for a certain time or up to a certain cache size
foobar and winamp2 can record audiostreams of every kind (the foobar plugin is called diskwriter and included with the installer)
i hope this helps
