If you do not want to listen to the whole file, try using -ss to seek into 
the file. Then when you reach the spot, just quit. The status line will show 
the position in seconds. The percentage looks wrong, but if you really need 
to know the percentage instead of the position in seconds, you can calculate 
it yourself.
