I think it's a function within the playlist.

Experiment: Use Realplayer to create a "favorite" and instead of leaving the clip start and stop values at zero pick a number. I believe if you link to the playlist instead of the actual audio video file it will start at the set time.

As far as multiple bookmarks in one audio file... yer on your own.
