Describe the Feature/Enhancement

As currently implemented, a Red Circle with the exclamation point can appear during playback. However, there is no context to the message, and tapping on the red exclamation point gives no context.

Why would this be helpful?

This is for usability reasons. In addition, safety reasons. I'm more than likely to be driving while listening to an audiobook, thus I cannot check the screen. Hearing an audio prompt or error tone when this issue occurs gives me a immediate heads up rather than an hour or two down the road.

To replicate this issue, I started playback of a book, then stopped and restarted the AudioBookShelf in the Docker container.
