When I was rewriting Stefan Bender's title formating patch for xmms, I took 
this into account. The printf like formating subroutine has a look to see if 
the thing it's formating looks like an integer, a float or a string before it 
does it's thing. It should cope. 

Vanilla xmms seems to handle it ok, as well.
