I actually added this TODO item yesterday:

 * Display `bongo-next-action' indicator in the mode line.

So, good idea. :-)

Anyway, your request prompted me to implement it.  You may
disable it by setting `bongo-display-playback-mode-indicator'.

If anyone is using custom playback modes (you can do this by
setting `bongo-next-action' to custom functions), you can
specify the indicator string to use for those modes by
putting `bongo-playback-mode-indicator' properties on the
symbols naming the functions used for `bongo-next-action'.

Instead of `Playlist/Random' and `Playlist/Start-stop', as
you suggested, I chose `Playlist[random]' and `Playlist[stop]'.
That format mirrors how `sh-mode' and `conf-mode' indicate
their sub-modes.

What do you think?
