It's included in 1.5, Try the beta if you want an early peek, otherwise look at the CDS docs - it's already described there.

How to start a paused media item from the point where it was paused.

You have to use either a byte range request or pass the 'start' query string parameter as described here: http://docs.serviiocds.apiary.io/#resource

How to know the profile ID of iOS devices and use it to advantage while playing media on iOS devices.

Look at application-prpofiles.xml. It's 'ios'

How to play .VOB files.

They will play, probably transcoded - depending what profile you use - but it's just an mpeg2 file.
