No, not really true. This is how you, and me because i can not other, use
vdr at the moment. But let's see another example. There are some people out
there which like to see VTX like Nordtext or so. What is the reason that
they should not play mp3's or ogg's at the same time? Maybe they don't want
to see the live tv. Only vtx and mp3 at the same time. Now there can be a
situation that they have a interesting page to read (Bundesligaergebnisse
or Wetterbericht) ;-) but a not so nice mp3. And now?
With a direct controllable funktion/button like play_next_mp3 the user can
decide what he wants. 
And maybe it's also possible to circumvent some drawbacks in the
menustructure.

Hmm, i hope you understand me. i'm not trying to offend you. I like your
work. You have done a really great work but your view on rc's is a little
bit ( i don't know a english word for this) eingefahren. :-)
