[Openal] Difference between pausing and stopping?

Is there a difference between what happens when a source is paused or  
stopped, other than the AL_SOURCE_STATE being set differently?

In my higher-level layer, I'm thinking of making pausing stop the  
source and preserve the current playing location, while stop performs  
a rewind after. Is there any disadvantage to using alSourceStop() in  
both instances?

Thanks in advance.
