Are you saying that when you run with this patch you can see artist - title (or anything, for that matter) in the window title of the demos/player?
I tried the attached patch and did not notice any change in behavior on windows/xp. It would be amazing if all that was needed was just a 2-line patch like this to fix the issue. I hoped indeed that it was a simple matter of telling Qt to use the right piece of software, but I am still not sure what that is. vlc uses taglib, iirc.
