no, there is no difference!

But i remember that Trevor De Vore posted his observations on this list some time ago.
He found out that "start player xyz" does not always work correctly after you set the filename
of a player to a (internet) URL, but that "set the playrate of player xyz to 1" DOES in fact work 
in these situations :-)
