avio_read may make multiple calls to fill_buffer to accumulate bytes
to fulfill a request. fill_buffer will overwrite previously read data
if it is not prepped. Added a call to 'ffio_ensure_seekback' to adjust
the s->buffer to fill_buffer's liking. This isn't necessary for the
very first call to fill_buffer, thus the "size1 != size" check.

ffio_ensure_seekback() should be called when theres a potential
seek back in the following code.

There is no seekback in avio_read(), avio_read only moves forward.
Some callers may do a avio_read() and or other function calls and
then seek back. A caller might do 3 avio_read() and seek back over all

ffio_ensure_seekback() generally should be called by the code that
later initiates teh seek back

ffio_ensure_seekback() is not free it should only be used when it is
needed.

avio_read does multiple calls to fill_buffer(). Adjusting things in
fill_buffer was frowned upon; how would you suggest I approach this? The
id3v2 seek doesn't come into play; the return from avio_read is the "full"
read.

The call I added in avio_read is only done when there was accumulated data,
so avoid reallocating the buffer the first time through.

Its not frowned upon to fix a bug in fill_buffer(), its frowned
upon to make a random change that fixes a testcase without fixing
the underlaing bug. (there is a bug somewhere)

Just tried, if i comment
ff_id3v2_read_dict(s->pb, &s->internal->id3v2_meta, ID3v2_DEFAULT_MAGIC, &id3v2_extra_meta);
out from avformat_open_input()
your testcase works

I can confirm the current source tree has resolved our issue.
