I agree with you on the "Play" arrow should be in the the direction a tape
turns but that for cassette,VHS, etc only and does not applicable for software.
Right now, I feel all the KDE applications are weird regarding this issue.
GNOME solves this issue. Please have a look on the attached screenshot below to
see how GNOME's applications put "play" icon in RTL mode.
