is this needed at all? When accessing a bookmark (regardless if
reading or writing it) the disc needs to spin up anyway, so the
tracking information could be written during that spinup in the first
place. Without knowing the code I'd imagine it already works like that
-- doesn't it?

Besides, as I mentioned at DevCon IMO bookmarks should be merged in
some way with playlists. And we need to store the last position in the
dynamic playlist upon shutdown too, so ...
