Before I go off on a rant about Rev audio (apparently Geoff Canyon has been
listening), I don't think there's much you can do natively about this.  I
know Trevor DeVore added a looping function to his enhancedQT external that
allows you to loop one track seamlessly in a player, however I'm not sure
this can be spread across multiple audio files.
