who does it cause to fail ?

well, from a pure semantic point of view, I think we have to 
wait. for example, for a wodReset, the application would
expect all queued wavehdr to be returned (in a notification)
before the wodReset returns. not synchronizing, would loose
this part

for wodGetPosition, it currently returns the position of
data which have been notified to the app (and which
has been actually played). What's the exact issue on HL ?
