Thanks for reporting. I was able to reproduce it. I also converted your file
into wav, flac and ogg and it was working fine with AlsaPlayer. So, is is a
libmad related problem. Now, the question is if it is related to AP mad plugin
or to libmad.

For the moment, I can only suggest you to use another format like ogg for that
kind of compressed files. ogg have another advantage, it is a free format.

Ciao,
