>> So: you are watching a movie on the iPad, or wirelessly broadcast from the iPad to your Apple TV, connected to your HDTV, and the phone rings.
>>
>> What *you* want to do is mute the movie quickly, but leave it playing silently while you're on the phone?
>>
>> What *I* want to do in that situation is freeze the movie (which also stops its sound output)
>
> My stereo (Playing my tv audio) has a mute. My tv has a pause. I agree with the quoted sentiment.
Your TV having a pause will have no effect in the situation I described, where the movie is playing on the iPad.
