Well, from the very beginning of this issues I was convinced it was something that Pandora changed on their end and since they don't seem to update their only app on webos the phone version - it's the only one suffering from pausing issues.
My XBMC pandora app works just fine.
I was hammered at work and was happy to see the TP version of pandora now called Apollo Radio (now in the app catalog) to be in beta testing. I was one of the beta testers(thanks Jake) and just added 1 and 1. The developers of the app figured out what was causing the issue and fixed in their version.
I tested both the phone app and their app side by side on my phone(layout not suited for the phone on their app but works with no issues if you don't care for visuals just audio

). So I decided to create a patch for the legacy app

Being pause-less for the last 40+ minutes
So last night I was digging around the files on my TP(with Internalz Pro - was too lazy to get my laptop

) for both applications since I messed with the stretch out patch of twack for TP and knew that Apollo used the same java script api and I found it.
Enjoy the patch and again all credits go to Jake (a lot more es on his login)
