Re: [EXTERNAL]SC 2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide - meaning of "starts automatically"

I don't want to harp on and on about this for too long, but to me the logical thing would have been not to even mention the "starts automatically" thing. But presumably someone thought about it and decided "we need that" on the basis that manual activated functions are different and should be allowed to distract the user. I can't see why though. There's no example in the Understanding document of something not being a failure because it was not automatic.
