i wonder what i'm doing wrong?

    $('.player_audio').click(function() {
    if ($('.player_audio').paused == false) {
        $('.player_audio').pause();
        alert('music paused');
    } else {
        $('.player_audio').play();
        alert('music playing');
    }
});

i can't seem to start the audio track if i hit the "player_audio" tag.

<div class='thumb audio'><audio class='player_audio' src='$path/$value'></audio></div>

any idea what i'm doing wrong or what i have to do to get it working?

Try using Javascript. Its working for me

Javascript:

var myAudioTag = document.getElementById('player_video');
myAudioTag.play();

I did it inside of a jQuery accordion.

$(function() {
        /*video controls*/
            $("#player_video").click(function() {
              if (this.paused == false) {
                  this.pause();
              }
            });
        /*end video controls*/

        var stop = false;
        $("#accordion h3").click(function(event) {
            if (stop) {
                event.stopImmediatePropagation();
                event.preventDefault();
                stop = false;
            }
            $("#player_video").click();
        });

    });
