No bookmarks, but mplayer's text version can do the former well enough 
(it's an unresponsive beast some times, but it does the job).

That will be a very interesting feature for me in particular, although 
doing it by percentage instead of by seconds and divisions of seconds, 
such as "sox file1.wav file2.wav trim 17:05.5218 2.1143" would be a bit 
strange, although I suspect it can work in that mode as well, as he's 
probably just invoking sox to do the actual editing.
