This is a Stream that will strictly buffer when paused.
Connect it to anything you need buffered.
varps=require('pause-stream')();badlyBehavedStream.pipe(ps.pause())aLittleLater(function(err,data){ps.pipe(createAnotherStream(data))ps.resume()})PauseStream will buffer whenever paused.
it will buffer when yau have called pause manually.

or the downstream emits 'drain'
PauseStream is tested using stream-spec
and stream-tester
This is now the default case of through
