From the stance of making things nice for translators, given that it
provides the same functionality as is found in Rhythmbox, we should
probably use the same name or even better attempt to find a common set
of terms to be used across media players, it would be the "GNOME" thing
to do. Incidently Rhythmbox calls it a play queue.

Mixer is a bad term as it invokes the notion of mixing music in the
sense a DJ might do, which is not representative of the functionality
the queue provides.
