This is true independent of the density

I see PLAYING below the tab title in normal density. You are correct that this is not an icon, however.

Priority: -- → P4

(Apparently we don't use P4, so moving this to P5…)

Priority: P4 → P5

In Compact UI you should see the audio icon instead of the favicon, though not seeing the favicon may make it harder to find the tab you are looking for.

Unfortunately this is indeed an issue - I have filed it as bug 1701443 (but that issue also affects normal mode).

Why not putting the icon badge like when the tab is pinned?
