I've played around with this and I see what you mean.

The recorded radio program gets placed in 'Recorded TV' but doesn't seem to be treated like a video file when you try to open it using the Video component. Off the top of my head, because I haven't looked at the code yet, but from memory I think this is probably being caused because the code checks for the content of the file to try to work out what to do with it rather than just looking at the extension. I have experienced similar issues with .wtv files which don't get thumbnails to the left of the program name, ever, but do get placed in 'movieinfo' but only after you scan the file. The value of the duration of a .wtv file can also only be obtained by scanning the file.

I have sort of accepted this limitation and tended to convert my files to .ts when accessing them through MP (to get consistent behavior for all of my videos).

Anyway, when opened in Recorded TV, audio files are placed in the Video database, in the movie table, but no resume record is generated when the audio file is played.

I'll have a look at whether there is any barrier to making audio files be treated like video files when accessed in this way and I'll get back to you.
