[Rwp] getting time

[Scott Chesworth]

Yep, pressing pause does move the edit cursor, but it doesn't move
along with the play cursor until that point. So, unless I'm missing
something, if I start playing at 1 minute, OSARA will still be saying
1 minute when I check the time 45 seconds later, unless I pause first
to bring the edit cursor along for the ride.

One for GitHub I reckon.

What i can’t remember off hand is when  you hit pause if it also moves the edit cursor that position. If so then it would seem for the most part the play and edit cursor are already linked. to answer Scott’s question from earlier.
