According to mp3check, available at http://jo.ath.cx/soft/mp3check/mp3check.html
your file indeed has bad CRCs.  They are all set to zero.  This is confirmed by
madplay, which comes with libmad.  It plays pure silence unless ignore-crc is set.

It seems that most other players out there ignore CRCs by default since some mp3
encoders don't seem to set the CRCs properly in the first place.  It might be a
good idea for gstreamer to default to ignore-crc=1.

Furthermore, it is a bug that gstreamer plays squealing for a file with bad
CRCs.  The correct behavior should be silence.  I suspect the mad plugin is
simply not handling the CRC error gracefully and instead loses sync in the file.
