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).
