Anybody else do something similar and want to share some advice? Or
have any idea why "skip" doesn't skip to where I want it?

The secret to that lies in the JavaDocs for the next-listed method.

available() will only tell you how many bytes can be read without
blocking. You're free to request a read of more than that many bytes; it
simply means your request will (probably) cause some blocking.
To the OP, did you try values which are multiples of 4096? E.g. 8192 or
12288? Skip will "round" to the nearest frame. Maybe all your frames are
4096 bytes in size.
