Title:
  Music titles in SoundMenu too small

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The artist/title/album labels in the sound menu are often hard to read because they get ellipsized fairly quickly (i.e., for relatively short labels). Also, the menu is visually unbalanced in languages with longer strings (making the menu wider), because the playback controls are hardcoded with a ~100px left margin.

  The fix for this bug makes the font size a bit smaller, according to
  the design spec for the sound menu. It also makes sure that labels
  with a width of about 25 characters are always shown in full,
  independent of the font size. The playback controls are centered.

  [Test Case]
  Play a song in Rhythmbox that has an track name (or artist or album name) that is longer than about 20 characters. Open the sound menu and see that the long label is ellpsized.

  [Regression Potential]
  If the fix to this bug is faulty, it might lead to weird menu sizes (too small or too large). The playback controls used hard-coded coordinates for drawing and hit detection. Rendering or selection bugs might occur.

  
  [Original Description]
  When looking at the currently running track in SoundMenu (clementine music player), the space for the title of the track and album are too small, because the album art is directly next to it. Both titles are truncated and thus almost unreadable, when longer than about 10 characters.

  Is it possible to put the album artwork in a different column? Or make
  the SoundMenu wider?
