I didn't at all like the initial design but moving the next/prev songs
with the arrows closer to the middle helps tremendously.

I still can't help but wonder if the best step is to make a better slim
toolbar -- and at Camp KDE many of both us devs and users expressed
dissatisfaction with the need to click on the volume button to change it
(preferring the 1.4-style slider, where you can mouse-wheel-up/down).
But this certainly helps gets rid of the largest issue of the fatter
toolbar, which is all the completely unused space.
