How are your expectations about the API for play/resume?

I assume at least you will need a DP property for binding, right?

When I created this ticket I wasn't necessarily thinking of an API, just that "if you update with a delta of 0, the Rive won't animate".
But I had issues with pausing like that.

A dependency property would be great, and functions for play and pause the Rive, without needing to create a specific state in the Rive.
I remember you mentioned the idea of Rive animations being controlled by classic animations (Storyboard etc), I don't know what would be best for you.

Anyway, I always use the patch above, because otherwise the Rive animations are always updated, even when the element is collapsed.
