[Bug 1539661] [NEW] Inline playback should play all songs from current category, rather than from album of given song

 

Public bug reported:

Currently, inline playback creates a temporary playlists with all songs from the 
*same* album as currently played song. This means the playlist is not related to the songs currently displayed on the screen. This is confusing and particularly problematic if songs come from different albums, or there are just single songs available from a bunch of albums - in the latter case playlists contain just single songs and playback stops after a single song, requiring user to tap another card.

We should instead just create a playlist with all songs currently
displayed on the screen. In addition, since Music aggregator displays
only a few audio cards for local music, we should actually put more
songs on the playlist, so that playback continues after the 3 songs
representing visible cards.
