I wonder, would publishing a diff be against the license?

I don't believe so, they can't control what you create or what others may do with it for personal use. They may only control winamp/their interests

The assumptions being, users of the patch get their own source and this isn't for commercial purposes. This is The Old Way

I think this is how we got MP3 support at large before the patents expired or something. Memory is failing me.
