i wonder what i\'m doing wrong?

    $(\'.player_audio\').click(function() {
    if ($(\'.player_audio\').paused == false) {
        $(\'.player_audio\').paus

I'm not sure why, but I needed to use the old skool document.getElementById();

play sound

and the JS:

$(document).ready(function() {
  var playing = false;

  $('a#button').click(function() {
      $(this).toggleClass("down");

      if (playing == false) {
          document.getElementById('player').play();
          playing = true;
          $(this).text("stop sound");

      } else {
        document.getElementById('player').pause();
        playing = false;
        $(this).text("restart sound");
      }

  });
});
