Are you distinguishing this from normal buffer-fill disk reads? I mean,
definitely, you should see regular disk-reads, as the buffer is
exhausted.

This version seems to be working well. Thanks! I haven't tested all
possible use cases yet, just the basics, which are looking good, and
finally allow one to bounce from playlist to playlist without losing
place in any of them!

There might be some tricky collisions between bookmarks and queued
files - have you thought about this? E.g., what happens when you have
auto on, and you press OFF while playing a queued file, which isn't
actually in the playlist file? (I haven't tried this yet, since queue
isn't in the bookmark build, but it occurs to me it might be
problematic, or at least not intuitive.)

Anyway, thanks for your work here, with this I actually have no more
strongly desired functions I'm waiting for! I look forward to seeing it
accepted into the builds.
