To my own understanding Xing/Info tags are only valid in silent frames.
If the user really was able to let LAME write it into a none-silent frame,
I would be curious to know how he did it, cos that would be a bug in LAME.

The problem with decoding the following frame was due to the back pointer
pointing into the Xing/Info data?
