Mutagen not recognising synced lyrics (SYLT)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I noticed that mutagen doesn't recognise synced lyrics added with Karaoke 5. I 
have an mp3 file; I can clearly see with an hex editor the lyrics in the SYLT 
frame, but if I open the file with mutagen's ID3 module, it only recognises the 
COMM frame.

I can send this file privately through email for testing purposes.

The sylt data ends with a "\n", which isn't valid.

The attached patch ignores it.

It's working now, thanks.
I'll use the patched module to open these files.

However in what format is the timestamp? Milliseconds or what?
Where can I find some detailed info about the ID3 specifications?
