One of the types of files I play with mplayer is the raw audio type which is communications quality audio recorded at 8 KHZ. When playing the audio with mplayer -quiet, I can skip forward and, if I skip enough such as 2 or 3 minutes worth, mplayer tells me X% such as 20% or however far I am in the file now. Is there any key that will call that calculation without moving backward or forward? Another nice thing to be able to do is to have some value representing the number of samples read to resume playback if the playback is interrupted and one wants to resume at the same spot again. I don't know how long I have been using mplayer but it's been decades and I truly like it. It's my go-to player in Linux for playing internet radio as well as just about any other entertainment sound file. Thanks. Martin McCormick
