Just a rumor... a future Airbus FMCG-DVD interface upgrade will fix this issue. This would allow the crew to watch the movies on the NAV displays instead of their laptops, and pause it at top of descent.
The actual overfly event would then trigger the existing auto thrust landing voice prompt "Retard, Retard".
