Yes, the plugin can return whatever it wants.  Most plugins will return 
filename if they have no other title.

There is no file called playlist.title-fix.c in xmms, but yes, this would 
break the function completely. 

Are you talking about title that is in the m3u playlist?  xmms will always
prefer whatever the plugin returns over what has been specified in the m3u
playlist, it only gets a string, it has no way to know what is "better".
