Show current playback rate and quality without hover

[kommunarr]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The playback rate and quality are currently not visible without hover or focus when they are entries in the button panel. This can be inconvenient when I want to know the current playback rate or quality by visual scanning alone.

Describe the solution you'd like
Have the playback rate and quality visible in their corresponding button panel entries above, below, or inside their icons.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None that come to mind.

Are you planning send a PR to add it?
No, not at this time.

To clarify, not sure if we're waiting for more consensus on the idea or a developer. I would certainly be open to adding it in the next two months if the latter.

[avelad]

Ok, I'll leave it open for a few months in case anyone wants to work on it.

Thank you @kommunarr, this feature is much needed

I think a UI plugin would be pretty reasonable. The APIs to get this information are stable, and so is the UI plugin interface. If the app wants a custom UI element for this, that shouldn't be an issue.
