I have the same problem as OP's first up loaded sound file.

Audacity 2.0.2.0 August 21, 2012

MBP / 2.2 GHz Intel I7/4GB RAM 1333 Mhz DDR3/ OS 10.8.2

Saffire 6 USB [MAC OS Boot HD] & Digi 003 [Boot camp running XP & PT]

Have already done a disk repair, and repaired disk permissions, memory is fine and still have the same problem as OP.

I run Ableton Live 8, Reason, on the OSX side and have run PT on the XP side all running and recording fine. I would like to use Audacity on the OSX side as it's a straight forward sound editing tool, and I do not have to boot up in XP/boot camp to run PT when I want to digitize my 12" wax. I have also tried recording with and without the
Software/playthrough & Hardware/playthrough active and not active with a no go still getting the repeat audio recorded. I have also played with the audio to buffer at 50ms, 100ms, 150ms, 200ms, and this has not helped as well.

Saffire 6 Audio interface is direct into USB port on the CPU using the internal drive as the temp directory with free space of 177.4 GB, after recording I dump to external drive.
The repeat audio can happen anywhere from 30sec, 2min, into the first song of a LP and not happen again until the third song on the LP and again it could be 30sec, 1min, etc into the song that the repeat audio is recored. I have also tried just to do one track at a time and the same thing happens I may get one song to record fine then the next one will stutter/glitch.

So if anyone is/had this problem and found a fix or is still working on a fix, what thoughts may you have on this problem?

Thanks in advance,
vmax
