AAC .m4a files only loading 75% of track length on stable version & crash when adding these files on git version

[Anarcraft]

I am combining both issues into this one issue I'm submitting because I suspect they relate. If you need a separate issue for this I will be happy to do so.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

A. Add AAC .m4a files I converted with iTunes about 20 years ago on the stable version (1.9.6-1) then try to play entire file.
B. Add these files on the latest git version of Deadbeef and the app crashes.

What's going on? Describe the problem in as much detail as possible.

A. Track length is missing about the last 25% of track. This is shown in the listed duration of track and playback ends early.
B. Adding these tracks to the latest git version crashes the app if the tracks do not already exist in the library. Not sure if there is a crash log for this.
