how to start playing track from the middle?

Maybe it's stupid, but I cannot figure it out from SDK.
I'm using play() and then seek(), but it's ugly solution.
Is there any built-in function/parameter to do that? What's the trick?

I don't know what does this have anything to do with the SDK (other than using it to write an specific plugin to accomplish this task), but here is  way to do it.

Load the track, hit the play button and inmediately hit the pause button (or keyboard character key, maybe that's easier).
Form the COMPONENTS menu select JUMP TO TIME (its gotta be installed first).
Uncheck "Jump instantly"
Move the below slider to the desired position.
Hit the PLAY button.

It is not an elegant solution, but it is effective.

Hope this is of any help

IIRC there is a foo_bookmark plugin that lets you start playing a song from the middle, you might look around for it and see if the author can give you some tips.
