------- Comment #2 from Tim-Philipp Müller  2008-09-14 17:40 UTC -------
The file seems to be encoded in UTF-16(LE) with a BOM at the start. Three
problems:

 - subparse doesn't handle files that are not UTF-8/ASCII yet
   (there's a bug for that somewhere I think) (or recognise
   them for that matter)

 - typefinding thinks it could be an mp3 because of the BOM marker

 - mp3parse doesn't error out after getting an EOS without having
   seen any frames. Guess it should post a STREAM WRONG_TYPE error
   or something like that in this case.
