Is it a bad assumption in practice? Will it ever happen in normal use?

Anyway, I'm looking at your code. I can't get it to work, maybe I'm
doing something wrong, but it /looks/ good!

I was thinking kind of in the same way. My idea was that it would
generally be useful to know whether a stop is between tracks. It could
be as simple as a variable that is bound non-nil in certain functions
(like `bongo-play-next'). I don't have an example of when this would
be useful, though, other than with the header line updates. What do
you think?

Back to your patch. I think that you may need to use
`with-deferred-bongo-status-indicator-updates' in more places, like
`bongo-replay-current'.
