How to prevent activity from restart during orientation change?

Question

I have an activity which extends an AlertActivity. In that I am trying to play an audio file. When orientation changes audio goes stop. I want to continue playing audio even if the orientation changes. How can I prevent calling onPause and onStop when orientation changes? Please help
