I don't think there's a (good) way to do that presently. You can
probably make it work in some conditions, though. What's the end goal
here?

It might be better to stop playback instead. Then, selecting a source
and starting playback will cause that to become the playing source.

This will crash if the play queue is visible as a side pane rather
than a source.

shell.props.shell_player.playpause() might work better here.
shell_player.play() only works if there's already something selected
for playback, so it's not very useful.
