Automatically Pausing iTunes From Firefox?

joelaz says:

You know how the iPhone automatically pauses the music you’re listening to when a call comes in? I want a feature like that for my browser. Throughout the day, I’ll be listening to music and browsing the web. I click on a video or a link that initiates some sort of audio and I have to flip into iTunes to pause my music in order to hear the conflicting sound. I want my browser to do that for me. Is there some sort of plug-in for Firefox that does this? There should be.

I feel your pain.  At the moment I use the SizzlingKeys iTunes plugin so I can pause my music via a simple keyboard shortcut without having to leave my browser, switch windows and all that jazz.  Not perfect, but it gets the job done.
