Hide playback speed in the expanded now playing view

Feature description:

My server is Navidrome.

When seeking to around the middle of a track during playback, I often find myself hitting the playback speed option by mistake. I’d like to suggest that there would be an option to make misclicks less frequents and also regain some screen space by masking the playback speed option entirely because some people like me will never ever alter the playback speed and would like to free up some screen space.

Problem solved:

I think this option option would make misclicks less frequents.

Brought benefits:

I think this option option would make misclicks less frequents.
It makes the expanded now playing view less cluttered.
It makes some extra space available for future display of information.

Other application solutions:

 
Poweramp seek bar and clickable options are a lot farther from each other, which I think makes it a bit less error prone. However, Poweramp doesn’t support external servers like Navidrome.

You can use basic or minimalistic styles that hide it, but in all case it would not gain any space at all as there’s the times too.
