Describe the bug
When I close the spotify_player in the middle of a track, if I try resuming the track it won't resume playing. I have to press back to start the song all over. It will work if I am streaming on another device via spotify connect.

To Reproduce

Play a song with the device being spotify_player.
Quit spotify_player in the middle of the song.
Start spotify_player and try to resume.
It won't resume.
Expected behaviour
Resume playback.

Environment

OS: Arch Linux btw
Application version: v.0.19.1 built from source
Application features: images pulseaudio-backend

I cannot reproduce this. I think it might happen because you quit the application and re-open it instantly. The Spotify sever has not been updated to reflect the new playback change

After further experimentation, it actually occurs if I'm playing on the official apps then I pause the music in the middle of track, then launch spotify_player and attempt to resume playback. No waiting period necessary. Note that spotify_player should not be running before. Also unrelated, seems that playback progress is not remembered when resuming music that was playing on spotify_player, always starts at the beginning.
