Any way to replay the last few seconds?

[steven robinson]

Extending the idea for this script so one can set loop points would be a
really good feature that I would use a lot too. Loops are invaluable for
working out how to play that tricky part of a song. Being able to do it
directly in amarok instead of loading it into some specialised piece of
software would be a dream come true. I'm sure I wouldn't be the only
musician that would use such a thing. I would never expect this feature in
amarok itself but as a script........... droolsville
