I am pretty sure that is the "Timeshift" icon. It is an indicator that this audio station is utilizing time shift feature and the playback is paused (or maybe was paused). I love timeshift. If you add a station (SiriusXM, FM, etc.) as a smart favorite as soon as you start the car it records all the audio on that station whether you are listening or not. One cool feature is that if you switch between stations the smart shift will automatically (can turn this off) move you back to the beginning of the current live song so you can always hear the whole song. You can also scroll back and forth on any smart favorite by using the time shift icon on the right side of the HMI. I think it clears the memories of all smart favorites when you shut down iDrive.

We have DVRs for television. Something for radio would be nice.

AFAIK, the 2022 no longer has the option to time-shift Sirius, only to "go back" a song at a time.
