It is your responsibility (not mine) to simplify your example to the point 
where it is small, self-contained, and reproducible (see the footer of this 
message). In fact, doing so often highlights the issue to you before you share 
it. If any old downloadable mp3 file can be used to reproduce the problem then 
you would not need to share yours. (Note that this list strips off most 
attachments, so links are better anyway.)

I suspect that one file read repeatedly might create the problem... if it 
doesn't, then that would be helpful to know. In any event, your "example" is 
missing the key element of repetition, so it is not hardly reproducible. The 
extra things you are doing to make it loop are likely to be important here.
