Comment:

 This sample has several broken ADTS frames, and it's in the first of such
 frames where it's stopping right now. Half of said frame is present until
 some weird streaming header shows up and a new ADTS frame starts.
 So this sample is just a raw dump of a glitchy stream stitched together.

 Working around this would probably require reverting
 3d4026325381c1066d771bcb83e024c92ea7e189, propagating data without
 bothering to check if it's a valid ADTS frame and once again leaving the
 work to the parser, reintroducing the behavior described in #6437

 I don't know what's the best option here, of it there some alternative
 where we don't have to compromise.
