Bug? SMB2 music: multiple requests for cover.* front.*

I captured packages during selecting a song from my smb server.
I could record (amongst others) the following file requests - notice that almost every file is requested 4 times:
  • front.bmp
    front.bmp
    front.bmp
    front.bmp
    cover.gif
    cover.gif
    cover.gif
    cover.gif
    front.gif
    front.gif
    front.gif

Each file request gets an immediate answer of "file not found". Therefore VLC should know, that it doesn't need to request that same file another 3 times.

To me this looks like a bug and I would report it. Any (opposing) opinions?
