There's an issue with using this patch as-is if the file is CBR & no appropriate header to help determine the file duration can be located.

The following might be more appropriate if (position > length()) position = length(); as clamping to a ~1MB end position prevents the lastFrameOffset related checks in mpegproperties.cpp from working correctly.

i have updated the merge request

Please provide instructions on how to reproduce such a freeze. Then we could find the cause why position could become larger than length(), maybe because the APELocation can be wrong?
