Actually that's something I've suggested - having what I call "play markers" where you could create a list of the markers and SONAR would jump to them as appropriate. The problem is having a totally gapless transition among the various sections.

As I understand it "jump"ing around the playback of an audio file is exactly what happens when you split a clip and move part or copy part to another place on the timeline. Unless you apply trimming the edit is not destructive and you have access to all or part of the audio file by dragging the clip start or end.
 
The only trouble I see happening is the zero crossing thing unless you have a ship load of audio tracks all diced up.

I believe the problem is jumping around among multiple, different files as you would find in a typical project. If there was only one file, I assume it wouldn't be too hard to be gapless.

Maybe there needs to be a separate set of buffers for playback. Low latency is only really required while recording.

Yes Sir, it cannot be truly gapless in case of lots of clips and tracks present. But user can get a fair amount of idea how will the arrangement would be. We can also provide an intermediate option of rendering to a stereo track if the user wants to listen gapless. Once the user is satisfied final rearrangement can be done, may be an automated feature.
