Research direction

The only reproducer in the issue is the attached 13384.zip MP3 sample; start there and decode it with the minimp3 single-header decoder. Compare the output against a reference MP3 decoder to locate whether the noise comes from the bitstream parsing or the synthesis filter. The issue is old and has no proposed change, so first confirm the sample still fails and characterize the distortion; done means the sample decodes cleanly and matches the reference.
