Thanks, I'd forgotten about Audacity. I also found an XMMS plugin called RepeatIt which does roughly what I want. It had occurred that it would be fairly trivial to write a plugin that does exactly what I want, but I need a player that allows plugins to receive keypresses from the main window.
Just to define the problem a little further: Audacity doesn't support playlists, its selection controls are good but I'm looking for a simpler "single button cycles" interface. RepeatIt does roughly what I want, but XMMS plugins presenting any kind of UI need to have a seperate window. It also uses three buttons rather than a single button cycle and for some reason blocks the sound card if it runs to the next track. To be honest it's under 800 lines of code, so I could fix those last two, but I don't see any way of overcoming the seperate window requirement in XMMS.
