I'm not sure about audio looping while recording, which I fixed a while back
 but have not extensively investigated.
But I know that looping while playing has some problems sometimes.
For example sometimes the audio fails to loop (keeps playing linearly)
 even though the cursor is looping !
And sometimes turning off the loop while playing fails to produce
 audio after the right-hand loop point.
In the looping code there were some frame-tick line-up issues
 that I could not understand fully and I may have made worse
 by playing with the timing.
