Description

See forum post for more info: https://forum.playcanvas.com/t/request-ogg-loop-tags/21290

In short: Ogg Vorbis is a lossy audio format that gives an option to put loop tags into the meta of the file which, if recognized by the audio player, can loop the song at any given point and repeat it indefinitely. This is mainly used so the song is able to have an intro that DOESN’T repeat once the song loops.

Research direction

Start with the linked forum post and inspect the engine's audio playback entry points to determine where Ogg Vorbis metadata could be read. Done means supported Ogg loop tags produce a non-repeating intro followed by the requested repeating section, with behavior verified in playback.
