I have set a looping sound using the action Master Audio Play Sound.
Unfortunately between another reproduction of this sound in the loop is a little break.
How do I remove this gap?
What is interesting, if I have a looping sound using action Master Audio Playlist Clip by Name, there is no gap.

Those should work just the same. I can't reproduce this problem. Please send me an example project to demonstrate this and I'll take a look.

No need to give me ftp access. Easier to upload to dropbox / google drive and send me a link.

Ha! I found the cause of gap problem.
Audacity saves the MP3 sound files adding this gaps. Sometimes in front of the file, and sometimes in the back.
I read a little bit about this problem and it seems that I have to use a different file format.
I did a small tests with OGG and everything is fine.
But there is important question -> do OGG files have any platform restrictions? Windows, Mac, IOS, Android?

Not sure about ogg files, we never used them. Always wav files for us, which have no restrictions.
By the way even without the looping problem, you should never use mp3s for sound effects because it's horrible for performance. Our best practices section mentions this.

You're welcome to do so, but understand that each time you play a sound you may get frame rate skip / lag because of the Unity Engine (or target hardware) needing to decode the mp3 as it plays. And when you play several on top of each other, this effect compounds. It also takes I believe 50x as long for a sound effect to *start* playing when it's an mp3.
