Animation step structure

An Animation step starts playing at the Step start time. Animations are playing for the Play time. Then, at the Pause start time, animations are suspended for the Pause time period till the Pause end time. Pause time depends on slide timings that were set using "Record narration" or "Rehearse timings" menu of PowerPoint. 

stepStartTime0 = 0

pauseStartTimei = stepStartTimei + playTimei
pauseEndTimei = pauseStartTimei + pauseTimei
stepStartTimei+1 = pauseEndTimei

If the slide has no timings (i.e. user has to click slide background to advance mouse-driven animations), Pause time and Pause end time are undefined. In this case returned timings are as follows: 

pauseStartTimei = stepStartTimei + playTimei
pauseEndTimei = undefined

stepStartTimei+1 = pauseStartTimei
