mp3 playback speed is slowed down and it starts in the middle of the track

[LorenzKahl]

I'm on Mac OS (10.13.6) using nodejs (10.13). When I'm trying to play an mp3 file the playback speed is slowed down and it starts in the middle of the track.

I've tried multiple mp3 files from different sources - mostly all with the same outcome. This is an example which is not working for me when I download it and try to play it locally.

The only file I actually could get to play as expected was a random test I downloaded here.

Unfortunately I don't know how to determine which audio library is being used to decode the mp3 files to provide further information.
