how do I stop playing audio using the same button

My code plays an audio when the button is clicked but It does not pause when I click it again.

I want to use the same button to play and pause the audio using js.

const rollSound = new Audio

("sounds/short-guided-meditation.ogg");
document.getElementById('play').addEventListener("click", e => rollSound.play());

any help would be highly appreciated.

Edit: I still need an answer. Please share your knowledge.

As is described at MDN HTMLMediaElement documentation, you can check whether is Media element .paused and decide if you would like to play() or stop(). Something like this:

document.getElementById('play').addEventListener("click", e => rollSound.paused ? rollSound.play() : rollSound.pause());

Snippet example: 

const rollSound = document.getElementById('rollSound');
const btn = document.getElementById('play');

btn.addEventListener("click", e => rollSound.paused ? rollSound.play() : rollSound.pause());
<audio id=rollSound loop>
  <source src="https://actions.google.com/sounds/v1/alarms/digital_watch_alarm_long.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
</audio>
<button id=play>play/stop</button>
