AVAudioPlayer crash after playing from an AVAudioRecorder
- by munchine
I've got a button the user tap to start recording and tap again to stop. When it stop I want the recorded voice 'echo' back so the user can hear what was recorded. This works fine the first time. If I hit the button for the third time, it starts a new recording and when I hit stop it crashes with EXC_BAD_ACCESS.

if(recording)

recording = NO;
[readToMeButton setTitle:@"Stop Recording" forState: UIControlStateNormal ];

self.aPlayer = newPlayer;
[newPlayer release];

[aPlayer play];
}
}
- (void)audioRecorderDidFinishRecording:(AVAudioRecorder *)sender successfully:(BOOL)flag {
NSLog (@"audioRecorderDidFinishRecording:successfully:");
[recorder release];
recorder = nil;
}
Checking the debugger, it flags the error here
@synthesize aPlayer, recorder;
This is the part I don't understand. I thought it may have something to do with releasing memory but I've been careful. Have I missed something?
