Freeze on trying to load modplug audio with jump markers

[Endaris]

When trying to load a modplug file that defines an infinite loop, e.g. by specifying a jump back to the start on the final row, as either a static Source or SoundData, love freezes up and proceeds to flood the RAM of the machine.

Here is an example project with a suitable file simple_test_with_loop.it:
modplug_repro.zip
I recommend having a process kill ready.

I did some research and there seems to be some baggage attached to the general behaviour with some interesting discussion on the SDL_mixer repo here: libsdl-org/SDL_mixer#117

Of notable interest is the following comment:

BTW, using modplug's builtin looping of the whole track also avoids silence at the end of the track which can happen when using SDL_mixer's looping.

Which is an observation also true for love and for that reason also part of the repro example above. Using source:setLooping(true) for a modplug file that does not define an infinite loop results in an audible silence between loops.
However, when an infinitely looping file is loaded as a streamed source, it will play forever without a delay between loops, regardless of whether setLooping(true) has been called.

Overall these quirks means that modplug audio cannot be treated like other audio at all: Looping only works when specific conditions in the file are met and these conditions require very particular management if the use case requires the use of queueable Source where using a stream Source and calling it a day is no longer an option.
I realize the best option is to just not use modplug but unfortunately that is not an option for me.
