jPlayer - how to find out if it's playing

How can I find out if jPlayer is playing? I tried this alert($.jPlayer.event.playing); but it doesn't work.

var duration = $('#jquery_jplayer_1').data("jPlayer").status.currentTime;

if(duration){
  // Source is loaded and playing 
}

On my setup, I noticed the class "jp-state-playing" was added to the div that included jp-audio. I have not done a lot of research, but querying for a null object or not seemed better than tying myself to jPlayers internals.

Kyle's method works fine, here's a fiddle to demonstrate it in action: http://jsfiddle.net/75lb/95EPu/

However, ordinarily you wouldn't need to access jPlayer's internals like this, being an event-driven plugin.. would it be cleaner to respond to one of jPlayer's many events (at the appropriate moment)? http://www.jplayer.org/latest/developer-guide/#jPlayer-events

I've not worked with Jplayer specifically, but playing around, this returned false if the media was playing and true if it wasn't.

$('#jquery_jplayer_1').data().jPlayer.status.paused
