I think this is a good idea.  I have installed a patch.

The old use for the prefix argument is now gone for these
functions.  We could differentiate between a C-u argument
and a numeric argument, but I don't think it's worth it.

Instead, I'd like C-u C-c C-s to leave `bongo-next-action'
unchanged and provide a better way to change that variable.

Maybe we should make 1 C-c C-s stop after the current track,
and 2 C-c C-s after the next track, and so on.  That could
actually insert special sentinel tracks into the playlist.

Well, I have to run.


Thanks Romain,
