I have downloaded "114.mp3" and found my Mac OS X 10.9.4 shows same duration as ffmpeg or ffprobe output.

I also tried a codec checker called "SinkuSuperLite.exe", then it shows 6.817 sec.
My Windows 8.1 shows 53 sec, but it might be wrong calculation.  

Your file seems to be longer than the duration which shows ffmpeg, Mac, and SinkuSuperLite.exe, but I suppose this might be some corruption in mp3 file.

FYI: You can download "SinkuSuperLite.exe" at:
