Sound overlapping with multiple button presses

Question

When I press a button, then press another one, the sounds overlap. How can I fix that so the first sound stops when another one is pressed?

 - (void)playOnce

You can probably do something like the following:

    (void) playLooped: (NSString * ) aSound {
        NSString * path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: aSound ofType: @"caf"];

    //stop audio player from playing so the sound don't overlap
    if([theAudio isPlaying])
    {
        [theAudio stop]; //try this instead of stopAudio

    }

    if (!theAudio) {
        theAudio = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL: [NSURL fileURLWithPath: path] error: NULL];
    } 
    [theAudio setDelegate: self];
    // loop indefinitely
    [theAudio setNumberOfLoops: -1];
    [theAudio setVolume: 1.0];
    [theAudio play];
}
