No, but using Mencoder. It has switches like -ss and -endpos Well, you could use MPlayer (with switches like -ss and -endpos) to play to an uncompressed pcm file or stream and re-encode that later or on-the-fly by anonymous or named pipe. Or use -dumpstream. Or -dumpaudio. I'm always happy to read the fine manual for you. Greets, Kiste
