hmmm we should be able to attach to a waiting process (what was the
error number you got when trying to attach winedbg ?)

ok, so making the wavehdr playback synchronous seems to trigger
this bug...

well, usually you can:
1/ use a bt in winedbg to get back (or in some calls) where
the problem occured
2/ run with -debugmsg +relay to get the return values from some
calls (but it is likely that it'll interfere with your program, 
as the -debugmsg +wave does)
