The problem appears to be the gapless playback; because there is
information in the file about exactly how long the first part of the
file is, Rockbox stops playing the track after that length. I'll see if
I can do something about it.
After some consideration, I think the best solution is to simply check
the LAME header information (which is used by the gapless playback) for
reasonable values. In this case, if the byte count in the header is
available and differs "too much" from the actual file size, related
information in the header is ignored (frame count, file time, etc.).
Works well for the NPR podcast at least...
Btw, found a potential bug while examining this. If there is a LAME
header, but it doesn't specify a frame count and a byte count, there
will be a division by zero error...
