Many thanks both to Steven and Victor for adding this functionality (Pause, 
etc.) to Android Csound.

One question: is there any substantial tutorial available about writing a 
Csound-based Android app?

My son and I have just completed a highly-simplified version of ChimePad, a 
new app called Chimes, which I'll be announcing shortly. It turns out we 
opted not to use the Pause option, but rather kept Stop. We were able to do 
this by using a slider rather than buttons; the slider settings are 
"remembered" from play to play, while the button states (at least in our 
implementation) were not. So all worked out well.

I love the app.  Runs very well on my Nexus S!
