This maybe "disturbing" when we think that computers have often control on our life, but keep cool, audio is really a very special matter

Hello Thierry - I think that sentence is the nub of it.

My view is: yes, it would be very disturbing if computer systems made those kind of mistakes, but they are engineered not to - otherwise, I for one wouldn't get in a modern car or aircraft! But in the digital domain, audio is not a very special matter (as far as transmitting it from A to B is concerned) - it's the same as any other data so it benefits from the same engineering that makes other computer-based systems work properly. Converting it faithfully from digital to analogue is another matter entirely, though.
