There are 3 different times in quartz which makes it all confusing.
However, wine just saves the time when pausing, and subtracts the difference
when running again, so for audio clocks it would be a noop, but for wall clocks
it's necessary to continue it again without skipping for the amount of time paused.

There is also a separate time for seeking, where it corresponds to the time in the file,
for example when you seek to 03:10 in a video. This makes it kind of confusing, and
wine doesn't handle it completely right in the parsers iirc, but with wineqtdecoder and
winegstreamer, that isn't much of an issue. :)

I have some mciqtz changes in
http://repo.or.cz/w/wine/multimedia.git/blobdiff/327ce94048dba45c0ed8f727b44aaae6c71a92db..0dc86046e6bec6b0a308c9aab19b8ca4b1c08958:/dlls/mciqtz32/mciqtz.c

But I lost track, so I don't know how valid those are still.
