Public bug reported: MP3 files have started decoding as crackly noise instead of the intended sound (typically, music). Occasionally but not reliably, the crackly noise becomes music, as though it were a mere synchronisation error and mpg123 finds a sync signal. (I have no reason to believe that that is happening at a technical level, I offer it as an analogy for the occasional behaviour I've noticed.)
While it's possible that this is only files on my disk that are corrupted, this would suggest that my backups have been similarly corrupted, so that hypothesis seems less likely.
