Play queue/position sync - is this possible?

I've been using Subsonic 5.3 with the Ultrasonic client on Android for a few years now and it all works fine. On my Windows desktop, I use MusicBee to play mostly FLAC files directly from a virtualised Napp-It SMB share and I also have two Logitech Squeezeboxes in the house running off the Squeezebox server software.
What I'd like is to be able to link them all together so that I could listen to music on one client then pick up where I left off when I switch to another in a similar manner to Spotify Connect. My main clients would be my desktop PC and phone. Is this possible with Subsonic or an alternative like Ampache? I'd be prepared to switch to a different player application on my Windows desktop or replace the Squeezeboxes.

The external API (used by all apps including the standard Android client) supports it, but not every client has added the feature. The Web UI does, in the "Load/Save Play Queue" items of the More Actions menu in the player queue. SubFire supports it (though I don't save the location within the file, because on some platforms I can't skip to that point).

However I don't think the standard Android one does at this time, or if it does I'm having a hard time finding it.
