Bug Description

mediascanner extract different durations for identical songs stored on SD card and internal storage.

For example, the title below last 79s and 77s depending on where it is stored:
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/.cache/upstart$ grep -E -A4 'Added song.*behaviour.mp3' ~/tmp/mediascanner-2.0.log
Added song to backing store: /home/phablet/Music/[2000] Unreasonable Behaviour/05 - Unreasonable behaviour.mp3
 author : 'Laurent Garnier'
 title : Unreasonable behaviour
 album : 'Unreasonable Behaviour'
 duration : 79

 author : 'Laurent Garnier'

 album : 'Unreasonable Behaviour'
 duration : 77

Please run:

gst-discoverer-1.0 <your mp3 file>

on both of these files. If it reports a different duration, please reassign this bug to GStreamer. Thanks.
