Comment (by redsweater):

 Please note this is slightly worse than just a little extra metadata in
 the database. When the RSS feed is generated for a blog, it will include
 multiple enclosure links for the same asset:

 {{{
 <enclosure url="http://www.coreint.org/audio/CoreInt_72.mp3"
 length="21660995" type="audio/mpeg" />
 <enclosure url="http://www.coreint.org/audio/CoreInt_72.mp3"
 length="21660995" type="audio/mpeg" />
 <enclosure url="http://www.coreint.org/audio/CoreInt_72.mp3"
 length="21660995" type="audio/mpeg" />
 }}}

 Judging from the fact this problem has gone unnoticed ;) I suspect that
 most feed clients including Apple's iTunes parser are not bothered by the
 presence of multiple, identical enclosures. But it's obviously a little
 messy.
