mp3 file with well-formed id3v2.4 header

Description Dennis 2007-08-04 11:19:40 UTC 
Version:           svn revision 696222 and earlier (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc version 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2) i686-pc-linux-gnu 
OS:                Linux

TagLib ignores unsynchronisation bit in the IDv3 header flags that indicates whether or not unsynchronisation is applied on all frames (see http://www.id3.org/id3v2.4.0-structure sections 3.1 and 6.1). This leads to applications misbehavior like described in KDE bug #129995. Also it leads to errors like 'Malformed UTF-16 string'.

-- How to reproduce --
1. Create an mp3 file with unsynchronized id3v2.4 header.
2. Launch an amaroK or other app using TagLib

Attached an quick and dirty example how to reproduce. Files:
test-taglib.cpp - compiled with `gcc -I/usr/include/taglib -ltag -o test-taglib test-taglib.cpp`
test.mp3 - mp3 file with well-formed ID3v2.4 header

-- Expected behavior --
TagLib should perform de-unsynchronization by default if unsynch bit is set before it passes frame data to application.
