I have your email still in my inbox, hadn't had a chance to try to
track this down, but I took one look at the code just now and I'm pretty
sure I know what is going on.  totalFrames is only updated when the
decoder updates its seektable, but the commercial skip code uses
totalFrames to detect if we are too close to the end to skip.  

When the flagger sends a new commercial skip map to the player, we
should trigger the decoder to update it's seektable so we know how long
the recording is.  Normally this sync would only happen when we skip.

I know what I need to do to fix it, just need to figure how I'm going to
do it.  Should be only a few lines of code.
