 This is r38627.

 MediaPlayer could save the playback position as attribute to a file when
 playback is quit (either when MediaPlayer is quit or the file is replaced
 by another e.g. via drag&drop or when skipped by in a playlist).

 This marker is shown in MediaPlayer's progress bar, e.g. as a coloured dot
 maybe with a tooltip "Last position".[[BR]]
 There could be a menu item added to jump to that position.[[BR]]
 Maybe it's enough, however, to make that dot slightly magnetic to easily
 scrub to it by dragging the progress-slider with the mouse.

 Note, this changes nothing of the current behavior: Launching MediaPlayer
 will still continue playing the last file from the position it left off.
 Launching a file (e.g. by double-click) will still start from the
 beginning; the user has to manually jump to the last-position-dot.
