Having

var audio = new Audio(click.ogg)

I play the click sound when needed by

audio.play()

However, sometimes user is so fast that a browser does not play the audio at all (probably when still playing a previous play request). Is this issue related to preload?

How can I force a browser to stop playing and start over? There is no stop, just pause in HTML5 audio component, correct? What workaround can be used here?

Update - Additional note:

I have multiple checkbox-like div elements with a touchend event. When such event is triggered, the elements visually change, a sound is played and an internal variable is set accordingly. If user tap on these elements slowly, everything works nicely. If tap fast, the sound is often completely skipped...
