So you want to loop the entire file? Not from the end back to the middle (what we support on waves)? Or between two arbitrary points (more general looping)?
I'll have to double check, but I think we did hook up GetSoundDuration() for mp3s at some point :) I'm pretty sure L4D has it actually (at least client side, maybe not server side), Orange Box probably does too. So you could use that to loop entire files crudely by just re-triggering after the playtime has elapsed.
