This is as designed. You can check for this condition by:

- regularly poll the state (with a timeout, so that you don't block forever).
- act when you receive the ASYNC_DONE message on the bus.

Another option would be to make the get_state function return a FAILURE when an
error is posted from the pipeline. This is not done yet, do you think it's
needed?
