Not 'toolbar' buttons..

Two sliders next to each other? Nah.. messy.. but since it's the same
icon as the volume applet (which is there by default, right) I don't
think it should be much of a problem. Plus, the user will find out
immediately when exploring anyway.

Well I think we should definetely use headers..

The seek one does have a time label beneath it.. maybe we need more..
but I think this is pretty clear. I mean, the slider starts moving when

Yea, but the text should really be under the view because that's where
it belongs :(

But you have a good point here.. hmm.. maybe move shuffle/repeat back to
the toolabr after all if we decide not to have a meta button..
