Describe the bug
When I play a song via the integrated client and then, while playing, switch to another device it starts playing on that device, but also keeps on playing on the integrated client.

To Reproduce

Play a song on the integrated client
Switch to another device (e.g. mobile app)
Should hear the same song on both devices

Expected behaviour
Playback on the integrated client stops when switching devices

Did some more digging in the log and I think only these four lines are relevant here:

First glance, looks like a librespot issue to me tbh.
