Looking at the LMS code its a complicated subject as to what is put in
'remote_title'. From what I can tell it, is basically the following :
If its remote and it doesn't have a duration, and there is a track title
but not an album in the meta data, then it will return the current title
(what's in line 1). BBC Sounds streams always have a duration, and
it populates the album tag and also all you would get would be a repeat
of the title (line 1) anyway. So, basically, I think the answer is no,
you would never get a remote_title for BBC Sounds streams.
Based on that, it may be a discussion for the Alexa Skill.
