Yes that's it exactly. The radio still rules, but titles are better :-)

Well, unfortunately, this patch "seems" to give a better behaviour, but
the titles keep on vanishing anyway :-( So the solution is not 100 %
perfect.
In fact, with xmms-1.2.5-2, the title disappears during a few songs, then
it reappears sometimes, and then disappears again, and so on.
There's a real problem with title streaming, but I don't know shoutcast
enough to debug it myself ; well I might try to add some traces to xmms
someday...

This patch won't be enough I guess, but it shouldn't hurt and could be
removed later when a better solution arises.
Bye.
