STR_1:
1. Open  https://psv4.vk.me/c422931/u263462/audios/52e63cb4de8c.mp3
2. Look at duration label (time at the right of audio controls)

AR:  14:11:47
ER:  Browser should display the actual length of the video

Notes:
1) This happens with many audio files on https://vk.com/
2) That link won't be there forever. To get new link - either contact me to get the mp3 file, or:
   log in on https://vk.com/ , open Music section at the top side of page, search for "house", sort
   audios by length, open devtools->netmonitor, click play button near audio, get link from netmonitor

It's almost impossible to determine the proper duration of a VBR MP3 without first downloading the entire stream and parsing it all...

I don't think this is fixable but I'm happy to be proved wrong by someone providing a patch.
