Feature request: edit queue or add consume mode

[volumio]

To make gapeless playback work, we use this strategy:

• track 1 and track 2 are part of the same album
• we start playing track 1
• about 5 seconds before track 1 ends, we add track 2 to queue
• this way the daemon shall play them in gapless mode
• after track 1 has finished playing, we remove it from the queue

To achieve this we would need one of the 2:

• Either a consume mode trigger (once a track is played is removed from queue (best option)
• A way to manage the queue from the API

You should be able to use just the add_to_queue endpoint as there's no need to remove previous tracks from the queue. Or am I missing something?

@devgianlu leaving the track in the spotify queue may provide conflicts and wrong track playback, especially if repeat is enabled on spotify's side

@volumio Tracks in the queue are evicted automatically once played so it should not be necessary.

@devgianlu if tracks are automatically evicted, then there's no need. thanks for confirming
