FS#6426 - iPod buffer and rebuffer without need

I really don`t understand. I just put one single song to play, in loop. No others songs in current playlist, just one, with repeat all or repeat one mode.
So I go in debug > audio thread to see the buffer info. The song was filled in buffer by 5 times, and after played this 5 times, the HD spined and filled up the buffer again… Why this? Is the same song?
In Apple`s firmware this don`t happens. You play one song infinitely and the HD has no need to fill the buffer again.
My iPod is a video 5G 60gb.

The same problem was confirmed on iriver H120 and H340. See http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=7638.0

This is current design. I’ve changed this entry into a feature request.

The problem is more serious than it looks like.
If the repeated track is short enough - for example the short Buddha Machine loops (http://www.fm3buddhamachine.com/site/?page_id=29) compressed using FLAC - Rockbox buffers its maximum number of tracks (32) and after every one repeat of the track it buffers the track again and again…! When playing a 8 seconds long loop the disk spins up and down every 8 seconds.
