The problem reveals to be simpler than it seemed to be. I was testing my app with MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3 with ID3v2. I've decided to read the raw "HexToString` output:

The "real" file signature reveals to be FFF3. After that I've found this site, which describes mpeg Layer 3 files: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/PRONOM/Format/proFormatSearch.aspx?status=detailReport&id=687&strPageToDisplay=signatures . Finally I was able to get my code to work nicely with fixed patterns:

Pattern aacPattern = Pattern.compile("(FFF1|FFF9)");

Pattern mp3Pattern = Pattern.compile("(FFF3|FFFA|FFFB)");

At the beginning I was mislead by information about signatures I got from this site: http://www.garykessler.net/library/file_sigs.html
