The situation I was thinking of is if someone using the LMS web UI or
controller other than Echo to pause (and maybe resume if quick) the
stream to an Echo would want to select the player in the UI via a
friendly name in LMS.

e.g. household has more than one Echo ... and both are playing different
stuff from LMS ... then someone elsewhere in the house can pause the
stream to an Echo using LMS UI.

All of the Echo's are playing /stream.mp3 but LMS automatically feeds
them different queues because it has unique players per IP.
