This has indeed been discussed in the past.

The technical difficulty is that liquidsoap cannot fast forward on a
file. Therefore, the solution we discussed was a protocol to cut the
file at the given cue point before preparing it.

The real difficulty is to make this work with distant uris such as
ftp://foo/bar.mp3

As far as I remember, we had decided that adding start/stop cue points
on local files was ok for the next stable release but that adding it
to distant files would need more in-depth work that we would like to
do after a stable release.

Would cue points on local files be enough for you?

Finally, we have an open issue for that, LS-469. I have just attached
there the script that I have for mp3 and ogg/vorbis files. It should
be extensible to any format with little work.

I will split the issue in two, one for local files and a more general
one. I will also mark the first one blocker.
