It is a good idea to initialize, prepare the items, and queue ahead of time, for example on the viewDidLoad method.

If you are working on Swift,

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        let item0 = AVPlayerItem.init(URL: NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("url", withExtension: "wav")!)

        let item1 = AVPlayerItem.init(URL: NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("dog", withExtension: "aifc")!)
        let item2 = AVPlayerItem.init(URL: NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("GreatJob", withExtension: "wav")!)


        let itemsToPlay:[AVPlayerItem] = [item0, item1, item2] 
        queuePlayer = AVQueuePlayer.init(items: itemsToPlay)
    }

and then when an event occurs,

 queuePlayer.play()

Notice that if you use the queue, you still might have some gaps between the sounds.

You can find the Objective-C version in the question How to do something when AVQueuePlayer finishes the last playeritem

Hope it helps.
