Yes, that's exactly the idea behind it.

I see.

Yes, it is technically possible right now, the Markers are used for marking CD 
tracks currently, hence the 75 f/s in the dialog.

Could you please add a bug report(s) prefixed with "Feature request" and 
describe what you want, and how you want it to work?

Discussing the feature on this list is obviously fine, and the preferred way. 
Adding it to the bug tracker just ensures that I won't forget about it.

Greetings,
