Description

On iOS this works fine:

var music = Ti.Media.createSound({
    url: 'music.aac',
    looping: true
});
music.play();

On Android you need to set looping after creation and in the tests I ran even right before calling play(), or the music will stop after one or some loops.

var music = Ti.Media.createSound({
    url: 'music.aac',
    looping: true
});
music.looping = true;
music.play();

Logs

When the playback on Android stops, the logs show:

09-10 21:35:16.422: I/ALSAModule(1838): Terminated ALSA PLAYBACK device hifi

Steps to reproduce

Create a new app: `titanium create -p ios,android -n testLoop -d . --id test.loop`

As `app.js` use:

    var w = Ti.UI.createWindow({backgroundColor:'white'});
    var b = Ti.UI.createButton({title:'Play'});
    var m = Ti.Media.createSound({
        url: 'music.aac',
        looping: true
    });
    b.addEventListener('click', function () {
        m.play();
    });
    w.add(b);
    w.open();

Drop the attached `music.acc` (CCL) in the `Resources` folder.

Run the app on both iOS and Android and see the music stop on Android after one or some loops.

HEllo, I tested your iOS version in a device with Android 4.3, can't reproduce the issue. Anything in your logs? Any specific device? Best, Mauro

Tested, working fine.

Updated the description with exact step. Problem doesn't always occur after one loop, but sometimes after several. Setting looping after creation fixes it.

[~mpmiranda] did you try again after my update and comment on Sept 10th? I see you are on a closing-tickets spree but that shouldn't go without any decent response!
