* Something like this; respectively!?:

[[shell:mplayer -ss 00:03:21 -endpos 00:06:54 ~/some_podcast.mp3 &]]

[[shell:mplayer -ss 00:03:21 ~/some_podcast.mp3 &]]

[[shell:mplayer ~/some_podcast.mp3 &]]

VLC works great for this too.

[[file:...] works too of course, but you have to make a "file association"
(or like mentioned: 'org-file-apps') to mplayer or emacs OrgMode will just
open the file in a buffer.

Unclear about statement about earlier posts: "I would like to explicitly not
allow..."

P.S. Thanks for the link to BONGO--the EMACS "buffer media player".
I made my own "buffer media player" and have used it for many years; but,
BONGO.el is wayly kuul too!
