I founded that by adding autoDestroy: false while initializing make it work like a charm!

const notificationPlayerRef = new Player('notification.mp3', {
+    autoDestroy: false
})
notificationPlayerRef.looping = true
notificationPlayerRef.prepare(err => {
    if(err) { return; }
    notificationPlayerRef.play()
})

Thanks for your help. It will loop then, but only after a delay of 1 second. So this looping feature is a little bit useless.

Correct. The delay is total ruining the user experience
