Whoops, I forgot that section. It was a little late :-). I have notes
in the source explaining the design a bit.

I basically took a lazy approach and leveraged the built in resume
capability of Rockbox. To that end, I over write any existing resume
information that is currently in memory and over write it with the
stored information and then call the existing start_resume function
(which explains why resume has to be set to "ask" or "yes". I wanted to
get a functioning version up because I'm not sure how much time I'll be
able to devote to this from this point on (pesky work) and I could us
some help/suggestions to speed up the development process (gotta love
open source). Below is further information on the bookmark capability.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

--
Writing a bookmark
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
This bookmark capability takes the current resume information and writes
it to a file whose name is based off of the currently playing file i.e.
bookmarking /foo1/foo.mp3 creates the file /foo1/foo.bmf. This file
contains the following line:
resume_index*resume_offset*resume_seed*resume_first_index*queue_resume_i
ndex*resume_file*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
Loading a bookmark
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
When loaded, the bookmark_load function takes a bookmark file and reads
the above line, one character at a time until it hits an asterisk (*).
Once it does, this signals that this is the end of a field. As each
field is successfully loaded, it overwrites the existing resume
information that is stored in memory.  Once all fields have been
successfully loaded, bookmark_load calls tree.c:start_resume().

Please also describe the design you have chosen. We have discussed
several ways of handling bookmarks. Which one did you choose, and why?
