[music] With repeat disabled, when on the first track if the song has progressed further than five seconds the previous button should be active

[Andrew Hayzen]

With repeat disabled, when on the first track if the song has progressed further than five seconds the previous button should be active so that you can skip back to the start of the song.

What happened:
1) Create a queue in the music-app
2) Navigate to the first song in the queue and disable repeat
3) Start playing the song
4) Notice that the previous button is not enabled at any point during the song, whereas in the music-app it is enabled after 5 seconds.

What was expected to happen:
At step 4) after 5 seconds of playing for the previous button to be enabled so that you can skip back to the start of that track.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

It seems as though this is now fixed.

However, I also want to state that I think a user action to go next or previous should override "canGoPrevious()" and "canGoNext()" and allow the list to loop from first to last or last to first. If there are technical limitations at the moment--that is fine. But I think in the end the user should never be prevented from hitting next/previous.

Nevermind. The issue was worked around by the Music app, but not fixed in the indicator.

[Alejandro J. Cura (alecu)]

The indicator just shows the buttons that the app or playlist want.
I don't think the bug affects it.

@Alecu: the purpose of this bug is to make sure that the indicator-sound controls behave the same as the new music-app that uses background playlists behaves. Right now, as described by this bug report, it does not.
