  Kinda.  Using the standard 'Range:' header you can *start* streaming
 at a given position, but not end.

  Something like:

    start at position &
    kill $$

  Would work though ;)

  Send:

GET /path/to/file.mp3 HTTP/1.1
Range: bytes=33333-555555

  This will start serving at byte-offset 33333 in the file, but the end
 parameter will be ignored.
