We'll only end up using GST_MP3_TYPEFIND_MIN_HEADERS if we read less than
GST_MP3_TYPEFIND_TRY_HEADERS, and even then, there's a penalty for skipped
bytes.

That said, we could increase the penalty for finding _any_ bad data, if we find
less than the 5 headers we are currently looking for (like halve the
probability if skipped > 0). Do you think that would allow us to continue being
robust enough for the general case?
