I don't know what the spec says about it, I should of assumed that could
happen I guess.

More worrying, and now solved, is that the stream should put the meta-data
at set intervals, but the stream you supplied didn't.

If interval is 8192 then you should get 8192 bytes of mp3, 1 byte giving
meta size, then the meta data, then the next 8192 bytes of mp3 and so on.

Your sample stream just seems to cut in at any point, and then follow the
above pattern. E.g. the first lot of meta data might be at 3546 bytes then
it follows above pattern.

The fix is to search for the first meta, and re-align the counters.

Next release, with this fix and a new function, will be along shortly...
