Feature request: display play or pause status

Feature request:
It would be nice with an option like "--showplaystatus" which whould output either "playing" or "paused" or "stopped" or similar. My use case is this: I have a key on my keyboard which I have bound to a script which I like to stop any music player that's currently playing - it can be Spotify, but it could be other music players as well. Since I don't know if Spotify is playing, I cannot use the --playpause option.
Today, you have a --status option, but it displays the same output whether the song is playing or paused.
Thanks in advance! :-)

Hi @plivxo,

Thanks for reporting your issue.
I'll take a look on that and check if it's possible.

Regards,
Piotr

I added a --stop option in my fork.

Done in #26.
