We employ the B{yields}{pi} form factors obtained from QCD light-cone sum rules and calculate the B{yields}{pi}l{nu}{sub l} width (l=e, {mu}) in units of 1/|V{sub ub}|{sup 2}, integrated over the region of accessible momentum transfers, 0{<=}q{sup 2{<=}}12.0 GeV{sup 2}. Using the most recent BABAR Collaboration measurements we extract |V{sub ub}|=(3.50{sub -0.33}{sup +0.38}|{sub th{+-}}0.11|{sub exp})x10{sup -3}. The sum rule results for the form factors, taken as an input for a z-series parametrization, yield the q{sup 2} shape in the whole semileptonic region of B{yields}{pi}l{nu}{sub l}. We also present the charged lepton energy spectrum in this decay. Furthermore, the current situation with B{yields}{tau}{nu}{sub {tau}} is discussed from the QCD point of view. We suggest using the ratio of the B{yields}{pi}{tau}{nu}{sub {tau}} and B{yields}{pi}l{nu}{sub l}(l={mu},e) widths as an additional test of the standard model. The sensitivity of this observable to new physics is illustrated by including a charged Higgs-boson contribution in the semileptonic decay amplitude.
