Perhaps. Saving it to a local file, and sending that file to xmms
would be even better, because that would allow pausing and resuming
the playback.

What I'm suggesting is different. It isn't playback as such.
I'm thinking about something to do the housekeeping about what I've
downloaded, and what I've played, so that when new podcasts appear,
they are downloaded to a local disk, and that will (optionally) delete
them when they have been played.
Ie. something similar to what iTunes does for me (which I'm not
satisfied with, btw. iTunes is too inflexible: I can only select a
single deletion strategy for all podcasts, not a different one for
each podcast. And it keeps synching the podcasts to all iPods even
though I've told it not to).
