Is there a way to pause the Media Application from within my app?

Currently if the Media Application is playing a file, and I try to play media using my own app's player (via javax.microedition.media.Manager & Player), then my own media will play on top of the Media Application's currently-playing media. Doesn't sound pretty at all.

Is it possible to at least detect if the Blackberry Media Application is in the middle of playing some media?

Is there no way to do this? Posted this a while ago and still haven't been able to figure it out.

To clarify: playing sound via my app clashes with the music being played by the BlackBerry Media Application (if it is playing something).

I need to find a way to detect if the BB Media App is currently playing and/or pause it.

There are no APIs in the BlackBerry API set that allow you to determine the state of or directly pause the Media application.
