AVAudioPlayer - Why is there a gap between loops (uncompressed audio)

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"test" ofType:@"caf"];
audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc]initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] error:NULL];
[audioPlayer setNumberOfLoops:-1];
[audioPlayer setVolume: 0.1];
[audioPlayer play];

This is the basic code I've got, let me know if you need to know more.

tried both compressed and uncompressed formats both have a gap of about ~1 second when running on iPhone simulator (don't have dev license to run on device to test).

Am i missing something, I've been searching posts but i can only see issues with compressed audio (which makes sense).


Xcode: Version 6.2 (6C131e)
OS: OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2 (14C1510)
Hardware: Macbook Air 13" (Early 2014) - 4GB

I had the same issue and I solve it using AVQueuePlayer, Create one AVQueuePlayer player and try to buffer (enqueue) two or three AVPlayerItem with mp3 media files in advance in a lazy mode via AVPlayerActionAtItemEnd

have you try a "prepareToPlay" before playing like this :

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"test" ofType:@"caf"];
audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc]initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL  fileURLWithPath:path] error:NULL];
[audioPlayer setNumberOfLoops:-1];
[audioPlayer setVolume: 0.1];
[audioPlayer prepareToPlay];
[audioPlayer play];
