Viewing those 2 mockups makes me think that, as there are more and
more sources (stores, devices, shares, ...), it could be beneficial to
allocate more space to the source list, granting it the whole left
side of the application and putting the toolbar and position slider on
top of the browser view.

Well, of course the toolbar must stand below the application menu and
that can't really be changed... So, time for implementing a more
complex widget ? Some time ago, I was thinking about foldable panels.
It's out of topic, but here is the mockup I did then (I also have a
working widget, but I did it to learn Gtk custom widget creation, so
it's barely a proof of concept ...)
