Did you find a solution? I’m running into the same problem.
If you turn off all ping sending services, this will disable it from finding enclosures as well.
Add this to your theme’s functions.php file:
remove_action('do_pings', 'do_all_pings', 10, 1);
“If you turn off all ping sending services, this will disable it from finding enclosures as well.”
Are there any adverse side effects to turning off pings?
Err… Well, pings won’t work afterwards. 😀
Other than that, not really.
Yeah I kind of figured that, but what exactly does that mean? So pingbacks won’t work? or my listing on Technocrati (or other aggregators) won’t update when I publish my blog? Would my RSS file still update, just without the enclosures?

Outgoing pingbacks stop working. Service pings (like to pingomatic) stop. RSS file continues working as normal, but without enclosures.
First, I appreciate all your help.

That seems pretty problematic. There’s no other way to turn this feature off?
I’m using WP to run a podcast, we frequently have related audio/video features we want to include and linking to them is creating multiple enclosures in each post, which of course is a big no-no. It makes the podcast break in iTunes.

Edit the core code to remove it. That’s the only other way.
And enclosures are the only thing that make podcasts actually work. If you disable enclosures, then you suddenly don’t have a podcast.
My advice would be to not link to things that are audio or video except for your podcast files. At least, don’t link to them directly. Link to a page with them on it or something else that doesn’t return the audio or video MIME type.
Alternately, use podPress. I think it prevents the multiple enclosure problem.
I’m having the same issue. I’ve got a flash audio player that plays music for local bands, but when people subscribe to the feed, they can download the song for free.
I’ve asked feedburner for help, but got no answer after 10 days.
I finally went to the plugin page, and it says to delete the enclosure from custom fields every time you update the post.
Seems to be working for me, hope it helps. It is, however a pain in the butt.
