Problem with a MP3

Hi there,

I have a MP3 file that refuses to play with CoreAudio but works with iTunes (probably using QuickTime ?).

If it was only refusing to play with an error returned from some CA call, I will be happy,
however the symptom is that the CA hangs in a low-level read call.
(both in my own player code and in Apple's PlayAudioFile example)

Do somebody knows about a tool, an API or a methodology to test if an MP3 file (and btw any other file format) is Ok for CA usage
to avoid getting trapped in a situation the only way to solve is to force quit the application ?

How does iTunes does ? Giving priority to QuickTime ?
The later is not a solution for the application I have wrotten since the player needs specific behavior.
(a modified version of TextEdit with support of xKeys FootPedal and a player to allow secretary to type text while listening to digital tapes -
the way FF, FR, Pause/Play and loop-mode are working, is quite specific to this kind of usage - everything works perfectly upto now except that special case of a "corrupted" mp3 file)
