AVAudioPlayer makes click/pop noise when song is started/stopped

Question

I'm using AVAudioPlayer to play a music file. When I call start or stop, there's an audible "click" or "pop" noise. I've tried it with both mp3 and caf files, and hear it in both cases (though I don't hear it every single time). Does anyone know how to prevent these glitchy noises?

For anyone who happens upon this in the future, you have to turn the AVAudioPlayer's volume down to 0, then call stop ~0.5s later.
