Is there a particular reason you want to use roVideoScreen instead of roAudioPlayer to play your audio file? Unless you have a need for built-in position notification (over tracking it yourself with an roTimeSpan), that seems like an odd choice. I'd suggest using roAudioPlayer in conjunction with roImageCanvas to do what you've described.
