We had some discussion about abort recently. Apparently, abort is rarely used and minimally tested, but also, abort behavior may depend upon the underlying OS and drivers. Also, note that the specs say after abort you must close the stream, although this may not really be necessary -- again, this calls for some code inspection and testing. Sorry I can't give a more definitive answer yet. What OS are you using?
Finally, be aware that it will not be possible to determine exactly what gets aborted, so the state of the synthesizer (e.g. what notes are playing) may be unknown after an abort.
