[SDL] sdl lock up on some mp3

[Donald Weingarden]

I forwarded one of the offending mp3 files.  It is waiting for a moderator 
to allow the email.  Even if I switch to some other library, you'll be able 
to fix your problems.
If I get a chance to debug it I'll report my findings.  FYI the product is 
NUCORE.
