I'm using aplay in a sound editor to play PCM files. But I need to be able to say "start playing at point X" to be able to skip around in the file.

I've used the following patch for years, but I think I forgot to submit it for inclusion into alsa-utils.

Thanks.

Please provide a Signed-off-by tag, document whether this option takes samples, frames, or (milli)seconds, and add this option to the man page. Furthermore, the code doesn't look as if it correctly skips over chunks in VOC files.
