If 2 players are outputting audio and one pauses it doesn't switch to the other one automatically #46

when a new player starts outputting audio, the extension automatically detects it which is good but if you open another player and don't pause the old one the extension will switch (which is good) but when you pause the new player it won't switch to the old player, that is still outputting audio which is kinda annoying. Another enhancement would be to have player controls in sources menu making it easier to pause when you have multiple players outputting audio (and maybe ability to go to the player, idk about this one has a bit of niche use case scenario and considering that the raise player doesn't work for all players currently might be a bit of a tricky one).

And what if you have 3 players active at the same time and U pause 1 of them. Then you would have still 2 active. To which to switch ? Seems a really uncommon case - is this really something we should spent our time on ?

I would say the solution is to use the sources menu to switch the players. I configured it to open on right mouse click.
