debugging output

there are all kinds of debugging messages in amarok - some are more 
verbose, some less. but some are occurring so often that they obscure 
other messages.

1. TagLib: MPEG::Header::parse() -- Invalid sample rate.
this is quite generic message, which includes no additional information 
- maybe filename would help here a little bit ?

2. [MetaBundle] value 10 is -21
these have appeared lately and nobody on irc has been able to tell me 
what these mean.  what are those values ? do particular values note a 
problem (if so, maybe it is better to print out only suspect strings) ?

the problem :
after compiling the latest amarok (with dynamic collection) and starting 
it up, full collection rescan was initiated. it took quite long and a 
lot of these messages were printed. the session consisted of startin up 
amarok, allowing collection scan to finish, closing amarok.

229858 metabundle messages;
6963485 invalid sample rate messages.

resulting conole output was 368M

that seems pretty excessive (those two types of messages), but the lack 
of more detailed information makes this information fairly useless...
so i'd be glad to find some additional information on these two messages 
(or increase their verbosity somewhat)
