'!' happens occasionally at silence bondaries if the drive is
producing jitter, but the jitter wasn't noticed until there was actual
audio content to judge against.  There is no difference in the audio
that exists, only in the number of trailing/leading zeroes.  Because
the drive is jittering, it's impossible to tell what the proper number
is.
