Has anyone found a way to control music playback whilst the screensaver is active?

I've tried swiping and clicking the sides of the remote to skip tracks (or jump back), and neither seems to do anything. I can hit the play/pause button to stop playback, but it doesn't resume playing if I hit it a second time. At this point, I have to get out of the screensaver mode and be on the music Now Playing screen to do anything. Seems like an odd oversight (and it was something that worked perfectly fine on the old Apple TV).
