 (FFmpeg <- LAVFilters <- MPC-HC)

 It doesn't report the time length correctly on some wav files.

 Example:
 https://mega.nz/#!YuomER6Y!YNkShluWwT47YI085AS170xTbV_seFFfpbtC_7tLMfU
 Time length is 11:42 according to VLC.
 MPC-HC reports itime length as 03:43 however when it reaches that time it
 continues to play.

 The example was downloaded 2017-08-18 and is free this month.

 mkver said:
 "This is ac3 muxed in a wave container (if you look at the file in an hex
 editor, you will find many 0x00 in it (this is also the reason why this
 file is so compressibly); also, there seems to be an endianness swap on
 the ac3 data, but I actually don't know the specification of ac3 in wav).
 The 11:42 reported by VLC is also wrong: The real length is 3:24.768. This
 seems to be a bug in ffmpeg (or a limitation of ac3 in wav) and should be
 reported there. LAVFilters will inherit the fix for it (if it gets
 fixed)."
