 it appears to me that ffmpeg is unaware of 'cue ' chunks in wav files, for
 reading and writing. ffmpeg supports cues or chapter markers for other
 container formats.

 this involves
 - a 'cue ' chunk that contains a table of timestamps (the 'fmt ' chunk may
 be useful to convert sample indices to times)
 - a 'list' 'adtl' chunk that contains 'labl' chunks
 - 'labl' chunks that each contain an index and a string label, which
 describes the given cue point

 the RIFF/WAV file specification details the structures of these chunks. I
 suspect that this doesn't just apply to wav files but also avi files.

 I'll attach a sample file that contains a few cue points.
