Hi
  Since no one replied till now, I am afraid this issue will be
forgotten. I am using the patched taglib (patched as I mentioned in
earlier emails) and tested them against all the files which were
giving incorrect duration with the original taglib. All of them seem
to work fine.
  To me this looks definitely like a bug. Lest this issues gets lost
in the mailing list, I will file a bug and attach the patch there. I
hope thats ok.
  Thanks for your time,
