The problem showed with a streaming source which had an error and corrupted
the datastream while it was filtering out the metadata for display
elsewhere.  

The issue with present code is that for some classes of decode error the
faacDecDecode returns with 0 in faac_finfo.bytesconsumed - it is this
condition that results in a loop.

I'll capture a sample stream and post it.
