Hmm, I'm not sure how I feel about this. While this change looks better, I feel like adding padding makes the waveform look "disjointed" (lack of better words) as it appears and vanishes into thin air. Having the waveform border-to-border makes the waveform look as if it continues across the window edge and gives it a nice look, and communicates to the user it can be scrolled.

The current look was intentional, but I will of course merge this PR if you confirm it's really better.

On the other hand, if the layout change was to proceed, I feel like it would be a lot nicer if we added margins to the container box so that the waveform, scale and buttons are all evenly padded.
