Description
### What Happened?
This is a very strange behavior... when I use the app shipped with Elementary all works perfectly fine, I can pause video, resume, everthing is well. But then I thought of downloading the git version of it and building by myself. I was able to do so and run the compiled app. But now, when I play the same video file and try to pause and then resume - the video stays still and audio continues :|
I have no idea what is the difference. I build the app with meson and ninja and then run ./src/io.elementary.videos
Are there any specific flags I need to build the app with? Anything I'm doing wrong?
I really appreciate any answers as I got to this point while working on my other GTK4 app that uses GStreamer and observed the same problems with pausing and resuming :(

### Expected Behavior
It should pause and resume both audio and video but the hand-compiled version is having problems with resuming the video (its stuck), please advise ;(

Research direction
Start by reproducing the pause and resume steps after building with meson and ninja, then run ./src/io.elementary.videos and capture the missing log output. Compare the hand-compiled app with the shipped Elementary app; done means video resumes together with audio after unpausing.
