Mmmh... This leads to another candidate item on the wish list:
"replay" a capture by displaying the packets in the GUI at the
same pace the packets were captured. One could also add a time
rubber widget allowing to replay the time in slow/fast motion.

| Microsoft Network Monitor uses "CD player" buttons for starting and

| two parallel vertical lines for "pause" (I forget what pausing the

How about using:
O   (red circle) for "Start capture",
[]  (black square) for "Stop capture" and "Stop capture replay",
||  (black twin vertical bars) for a "Pause capture" (needs to be
    implemented) and "Pause capture replay"
