Description Nick Shaforostoff 2006-04-20 15:41:37 UTC 
please, add ability to request stop playing at certain 
position - this would be great for proper cue sheet 
support in amarok (and not only in it :)

of course, amarok can schedule stoppping by itself, but 
the reaction time would be probably less accurate than if 
it were done on the level of engine.

There is already API to do this. It's part of the seek API.

You can do a seek and specify a stop position in addition to the start/seek position, then it should send/post an EOS in the normal way as soon as the stop position is reached (not all decoders may support this properly yet, but it should be fairly easy to fix - please file bugs when you run into a decoder where this doesn't work).

See bug #338290 for an example and a small test program in python.
