audacious shows incorrect length for some mp3 files

Audacious version: 3.4.3-1

This is exactly the same issue as described here (even the wrong lengths are the same). It also provides additional informations as well as sample affected MP3 files:

Applications like mp3info or rhythmbox show correct lengths. The problem is not only with displaying wrong length values, but also that Audacious keeps trying to play these files after their "real ends" and I need to manually skip them. It appears that version 3.6.* with the following patch fixes the problem:
