Firstly, thank you for creating this amazing crate, it's made working with the spotify API so fun.

I have this usecase

As a user, I should be able to toggle play/pause and resume playback at the previous position.

Looks like the spotify api let's you pass in position_ms to the play endpoint https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/player/start-a-users-playback/

Which I think is what I need?

Potential solution

Pass position_ms as a fourth paramter to the start_playback function.

Or perhaps I am missing something? Is there an existing way of resuming playback?

No, you didn't do anything wrong or miss something, it's just my mistake. It seems when I develop this crate, Spotify doesn't provide such an argument, I will fix it later.
