Encoding a CBR mp3 file without "-write_xing false" may result in
mp3 file duration incorect on ios safari browser and webview.
I try to fix it but it can’t be done as mp3 muxer don’t know
it is a CBR file until encode process finished. And it’s hard
to remove the first frame at that time. Only the mp3 encoder
(such as libmp3lame) know it is CBR or not before encoding start.

Bug example:

ffmpeg -i a.mp3 -c:a mp3 -ab 32k -ar 44100 -ac 1 b.mp3

The duration of the generated file b.mp3 is wrong on ios safari
browser from ios7 to ios10.

Working example:
ffmpeg -i a.mp3 -c:a mp3 -ab 32k -ar 44100 -ac 1 \
-write_xing false b.mp3

I don't think we should add a warning about every broken player out there.
