Update Stream.view to disable currently playing update

The audio player I am writing achieves gapless playback by pre-fetching the next song so it can be fed into the audio buffer as soon as required. However stream.view immediately tells the web interface that the user is playing that song as current, which isn't true. Adding a boolean to the stream.view call to disable this function would be a preferable and easy solution. Additionally, adding a new REST call to set the currently playing item index would allow my player to specify this as it determines appropriate.

Are you talking usage on a desktop/laptop (where caching does not occur) or on a mobile device (where caching does occur)?

I have an issue when streaming via cell phone where the current playing song that is being listed is not actually the song I'm listening to, as the system is listing the song that is being cached, not the song actually being played.
