title: How do I get mediaelement.js player state (paused, volume, etc.)?
body: <p>According to what is stated on <a href="http://mediaelementjs.com/#api" rel="nofollow">mediaelement.js website</a> it should be easy to get player state. But I cannot figure out how to do it.</p>
  
  <p>I'm creating player like this and trying to read properties (the player itself is working without problems).</p>
  
  <pre><code>var player = new MediaElementPlayer('.player_1')
  player.play();
  player.pause();
  log(player.paused);
  log(player.volume);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this fails - both <code>paused</code> and <code>volume</code> are <code>undefined</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using latest 2.8.2 version.</p>
