Mplayer can do this on a per track basis .. so you'll need to write a script
to play multiple tracks and there'll be a slight delay while the new instance
starts up. (Not sure if it can be achieved by passing commands to the
controlling socket.)

Eg. mplayer -ss 4 -endpos 6 11\ -\ Yesterday.flac  

plays just "Yesterday.. All my troubles seemed so far away."

ss = start position 

endpos = duration to play ( NOT stop at X position)

man mplayer for more details.
