One can introduce pandora.isPlaying, which gets updated on player/editor/timeline paused event, and something like the utils method below ... the challenges are to keep the icon out of the history (updateDocumentTitle(false) before URL.push -- but the video may be playing while a dialog URL is active), and to set isPlaying to false when the video disappears in playing state.

pandora.updateDocumentTitle = function(isPlaying) {
    if (arguments.length == 0) {
        isPlaying = pandora.isPlaying;
    }
    var title = (isPlaying ? '▶ ' : '') + document.title.replace(/^▶ /, '');
    if (title != document.title) {
        document.title = title;
    }
};

Just as we'd want to keep the icon out of the history, we don't want it in bookmarks either.

The main reason has this is to show which (out of many) tabs have a video playing -- that's probably not so much of an issue with pan.do/ra.

So maybe it's not worth the trouble...
