Assuming you use an AVAudioPlayer, send a -stop message after 6 seconds:

NSTimer* timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:6
                               target:thePlayer selector:@selector(stop)
                                    userInfo:nil repeats:NO];

(Remember to invalidate the timer if the player stops early.)
