Just cuz a panda sings in it doesn't automatically make it the cinematic theme.

Battle For Pandaria sounds much more like an opening cinematic theme to me.
How did you come to that conclusion?
What if none of it is from the cinematic and the cinematic music is baked into the cinematic itself?

Do you have inside information or something or is this just speculation ?
I actually suspect that the part where it sounds like someone is singing it is not a human voice, there is something odd about it. It actually sound quite a lot like a Theramin tbh.
But it could also be because it is mixed in with the Violin.

Hmm it does have the cinematic quality. Slow start showing off enviroment, then it picks up prob showing action(hopefully gnomes fighting something),then it slows back down to show more enviroment then logo.
The Cataclysm cinematic music wasn't in the game files, since it was part of the video file. The music wasn't available until the soundtrack was released. I don't see any reason for this to be different.
Blizzard tends to take the music out to use it other places in the game. The Burning Crusade's plays at the peak of Black Temple. Wrath of the Lich King's plays in either Icecrown or Storm Peaks, can't quite remember. Cataclysm's plays in the final confrontation against Deathwing. All of them are slightly edited versions of the songs though, but they're easily recognizable (they're mostly edited so that they fit, they aren't too long). They'll only put it in the game files when they need it though (for example, Cataclysm's made it into the game files by patch 4.3). Shouldn't wonder me if they had seperated it already though, for a zone or a boss encounter, but they might just wait for another patch to use it.
If they haven't done so this time around though, we won't find it in the game files. The exact track is always carved into the video, it has been with every cinematic thus far, even in Diablo III, and it'll most definately keep on being like that.
I don't think that the name Song of Liulang fits quite for an expansion theme though, it has to be something iconic, like Arthas, My Son and Xarxas (which means Deathwing in Night Elven language). Battle for Pandaria's name strikes me much more, it's also pretty much made for a Blizzard cinematic, and it's even a shortened version like the other main themes are in the game files. Then again, Song of Liulang is so big, it would definately work for a cinematic too. We'll just have to wait and see if it's even any of them.

I'd like to note that usually the Cinematic music is made with a real(?) orchestra, and doesn't sound as.. well, you know, computer-generated as a lot of the other WoW in-game music sounds. Not that the computer-produced is -bad-, it's just that you can usually tell. =)
It seems they tend to reuse the cinematic theme for the final boss. Which means we probably won't see it until patch 5.6 (5.3 or 5.4 in a "normal" scale. 5.6 is when I say it'll be)

Well since late-BC blizz has used real orchestras more often. And I believe in Cata went all-live.
