[mediacapture-record] What is the difference between start/stop and pause/resume methods? (#195)

amn has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-record:

== What is the difference between start/stop and pause/resume methods? ==
I tried reading the descriptions of all the four methods, and between `stop` and `pause` at least, I can't find any difference for someone using a MediaRecorder object -- I can pause recording and resume it or I can stop recording and start it again -- in both cases there is an expected gap timewise where the stream didn't make it into the recording, but otherwise they should be identical, no? Or does `start` write some header information as part of the first blob(s) for some/all codec and container combinations?
