Also it should have allowed at least optional arguments

    (when (or (memq
               ;; Too complicated to parse regarding that such functions
               ;; are probably not useful here.
               '&rest
               arglist)
              (/= 2 (length (delete '&optional arglist))))
      (user-error

for e. g. a simple

    (add-to-list 'org-file-apps
                 (cons (concat org-player-file-extensions-regexp "$")
                       'org-player-play-file))

which refers to the existing

    (defun org-player-play-file (filename &optional pos)

Of course. I didn't know about this possibility, remixed patch attached.
