I would prefer to see this be left in place as a fallback option. On 
windows and Linux it is often very important to retrieve this 
information when something is going wrong.

On OS X for instance, there is only one video output and no overlay, so 
you always know what is going on. (Actually no longer true as of 
late...) On OS X we use the name of the currently playing playlistitem 
as the window title.

Anyways. As long as there are still frequent changes to the code in 
directx etc, i vote to keep this in. Fine to override it, but in my 
eyes untill the video outputs are completly stable, i think this still 
serves a purpose.
