 a sync until 25KB in. Removing the data before that sync makes it run
 perfectly. (I'll attach it if you need it.)
 
 0.6.2 is not searching for sync, or if it is, it isn't doing a good
 job at finding it. This is responsible for most (if not all) "Could
 not find media type errors" for mpeg audio.

+We search for a sync only in the first 8kB (and in 0.6.2, this is even
+4 kB). So if your first 25 kB is bogus, then it won't find it.

+I'm not exactly sure what the best way to detect such broken mp3s is.
+Sure, we can increase buffer size, but then, yet a new mp3 will turn up...
