Solve by me using the following code. I am not happy with this as a
solution but it works
//so if I have an existing mediaplayer, which for note could be
playing something else
//I stop the existing playback, run the gc for good measure then
recreate the media player with the sound
//I want it to play
if(mp != null) {
if(mp.isPlaying()) {
mp.stop();
}
mp = null;
Runtime.getRuntime().gc();
mp = MediaPlayer.create(this.getBaseContext(),
R.raw.silentnight);
mp.start();
} else {
mp = MediaPlayer.create(this.getBaseContext(),
R.raw.silentnight);
mp.start();
}
