Youtube Integrated Video Input Enable / Stop Event

I was wondering if youtube embeds videos through iframes to expose certain events, for example onStart or onStop, where you can specify some callback?

This is an example of handling start and stop events:

HTML file (index.html):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Stackoverflow</title>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.youtube.com/player_api"> </script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="sof.js"> </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="player"></div>
    </body>
</html>

And JavaScript (sof.js):

var player;
// This function creates an <iframe> (and YouTube player)
// after the API code downloads.
function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() {
    player = new YT.Player('player', {
        height: '390',
        width: '640',
        videoId: 'u1zgFlCw8Aw',
        events: {
            'onStateChange': function (event) {
                switch (event.data) {
                    case -1:
                        console.log ('unstarted');
                        break;
                    case 0:
                        console.log ('ended');
                        break;
                    case 1:
                        console.log ('playing');
                        break;
                    case 2:
                        console.log ('paused');
                        break;
                    case 3:
                        console.log ('buffering');
                        break;
                    case 5:
                        console.log ('video cued');
                        break;
                }
            }
        }
    });
}

For each case, you can install a handler.
