Recently I discovered that some audio files can show different durations on different devices. So it was not this library bug. The only way to fix it - to format audio files to files with “constant bit rate”. In my case I used “Audacity” on mac to fix it

I noticed this problem only occurring when we are using local files but it is working fine when fetching from the server.
