Details

Per the mime sniffing spec, we limit the sniff buffer to 512 bytes in toolkit/components/mediasniffer. http://mimesniff.spec.whatwg.org/ However, our method of detecting raw mp3 data requires two complete packet headers, which can require up to 1.5k of data. This bug is about extending the sniff buffer so we correctly detect high-bitrate mp3s.
