* Many things can actually be found before a proper MP3 header :
* - Padding with 0x55, 0xAA and even 0xFF bytes
* - RIFF header declaring either MP3 or WAVE data
* - Xing encoder-specific frame
* - One of the above with a few "parasite" bytes before their own header
*
* The most solid way to deal with all of them is to "scan" the file until proper MP3 header is found.
* This method may not the be fastest, but ensures audio data is actually detected, whatever garbage lies before
