I'll take a closer look at it.

Calling start, just starts the thread and returns. Stop does block until the 
thread yields by exiting its the function.

Take a look to the BlockingNetworkPlayer class (0.9.0preX). It uses 
CLAM::Thread conveniently. The class controls a thread that runs a Network on 
its main loop, and the object responds to Play/Stop messages by playing and 
stoping that thread execution. Even if you don't have a Network you can apply 
the same technique.
