The parser does not find the existing "mdat" frame. This "mdat" frame is present and located late in the m4a header. I will further investigate.

The files itself is broken. The first "free" frame indicates a wrong length (0xC07A). If the correct length is indicated (0x17928) the files plays fine.

I have uploaded the file with this simple change: http://www.sendspace.com/file/5c5ng5

So, our parser does not have any bug, but is not as error resilient as others...

Edit: The header has two sets of metadata (album, title, etc.). The 2nd one is not placed correctly and preceeded by several kilobytes of data (audio stream?). Seems like a tagger has messed up the file...
