The obvious solution seems to be: instead of letting it play after onPause(), save your position in the file (MediaPlayer has a getCurrentPosition method), and pick up from there after you recreate the SurfaceHolder in onResume(). I don't think the user wants it to continue playing after onPause() anyway, audio or audio+video.
Or did you try this and were unable to get it to work?
