This could be a problem with GStreamer -- the engine Muine uses to
play files -- in which case the best idea is to file a bug with them
[1]. As an example, I filed a bug with them [2] against a song that
didn't play correctly and they were very responsive guys.

To file a good bug report, I would say you need to provide versions of
involved libraries -- in this case probably your version of:

- muine
- gstreamer-core
- gstreamer-base
- gstreamer-good
- gstreamer-ugly

It is also very useful to put the problem track somewhere online so
that the devs can debug using it. From here the developers will ask
you for more information if they need it.
