That file probably doesn't have some other metadata pushing the ID3 tag
beyond the probe size.  I bet if you stick a bigger cover in you'll get
the same error.

Anyway, if you want ffmpeg to detect that it is mp3 then either add "-f
mp3" or "-formatprobesize 2M" before -i and you will see that ffmpeg
reads them just fine -- oversized, embedded covers included.
