Do we really want this? I could see it being reasonable to make a
track in the library track start playing on the headphone channel if
it's clicked and held for a second but being able to scroll through it
too?

On vinyl or CDJs or traktor the standard way to figure out which track
is which is to put it on and play it like normal. I mean, I'm saying
that we should do something -just because- it's the convention, but
sometimes conventions exist for good reasons.

The better answer is N-deck support. Just use whichever deck you're
not using to play out tracks or cue the next one as your 'scan through
the library' deck (dependant on us figuring out a different UI style
that stays as efficient as Mixxx is right now).
