Howler.js: Stop if already playing

[sammydigits]

How can I stop whats currently playing and start playing a new file?

This is how i play sounds, if i call this function again while another sound is playing, i want it to stop and play the new sound.

  function playSound(audio) {

    var sound = new Howl({
      src: ['assets/sound/voice/' + audio]       
    });

    window.setTimeout(function(){
        sound.play();
     }
    }, 400);       

  }

This is how i do it by create global variable for 'sound' instead local variable.

var sound = null;
function playSound(audio) {
    //check if sound is null, if not stop previous sound and unload it
    if (sound != null) {
        sound.stop();
        sound.unload();
        sound = null;
    }
    sound = new Howl({
        src: ['assets/sound/voice/' + audio]
    });
    sound.play();
}

By the way, why did you use setTimeout?
