This is probabaly the right thing to do, but:

Now, the Xing VBR header is actually a corrupt 
mp3 frame.  Before this fix, the Xing header was a valid mp3
frame which would decode to silence.  

So mpg123 now works, but there might be another decoder,
which is not VBR aware (like mpg123) but does actually check
the CRC (unlike mpg123).  This decoder may now choke 
on the mp3 file because the first frame is corrupt?
