Bug#680580: rhythmbox: Should stop playing after playing the last item in the queue

[Fernando J. Rodríguez]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.12.8-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

After playing all queued songs, Rhythmbox switches to playing from the Library.
This happens even if the program wasn't playing anything before it started playing
the queued songs.

I consider this a misbehaviour: the intent of queuing songs is to have the program
play the selected songs in the selected order. No other songs outside the queue
should be played unless specifically requested by the user, even if the queue is
exhausted.
Also, it seems arbitrary to switch the playback source from "queue" to "library"
after reaching the end of the former. In contrast, after playing the last song
from the (current view of the) library, playback correctly stops, and no other
source is arbitrarily selected.
