Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Problem: Have more than 1 library, ie. 1 audio book library and 1 audio podcasts (such as music podcasts)
Put playback speed to something bigger than 1x for current playback.
The playback speed persists across libraries.

Describe the solution you'd like

Have a function to control the playback speed by library (or item(s)).
Some items within the audio podcast library should still control its own playback speed, so its a setting on different paths for full control of the users desire. ("global", "library", "item")

Describe alternatives you've considered

Use a locally run userscript which fixes it for me. Would exclude other clients of course.

Additional context

I like to listen to audio books in 1.2 to 1.4 speed, because most of the time I get the context just fine.
Listening to audio podcasts however, and its still set to 1.2 playback speed, makes the listening experience not-so-great.
I have to manually switch back to 1x playback speed - and when I later on go back to the audio book its again set to 1x speed from previous session - and I have to set it to 1.2x - and so forth.

If you're using iOS there is a bug with the playback speed advplyr/audiobookshelf-app#799, although I haven't confirmed this yet. The playback speed is supposed to persist with whatever you last set it.

This has been brought up a few times before and the issue I have is the UI/UX. Do you know of any software to look at that does something like this?

My client of choice is Android, however I haven't looked at this yet. Mainly it annoys me (currently) in the Webclient, but I can see it being annoying in the Client world aswell.

As per UX:

Quick mockup

Use Default toggle would disable the slider.
Maybe even grouping the settings per category (naming?), in case more settings join in the future.

(Doesnt have to be a slider, can use the current one, which is fine and even better usable on mobile)

(onclick, like usual)
