Distored output and mp3s crashing

[ra0943-VK3ACH]

All files i've tried playing have been distorted and silent for the first couple of seconds. On occasion, the esp32-s3 will crash this mainly happens with mp3 files. Before the crash I will get MP3 decode error -1: INDATA_UNDERFLOW. I know this isn't a hardware issue as I have used the same hardware with a different audio library.

output of when file plays all the way through (still distorted)

Solved by adding vTaskDelay(1); to loop. see #887
