Description Stephan Sokolow 2005-12-01 15:15:56 UTC
Any application using media-libs/sdl-mixer will create a temp file named  
"music.raw" directly in the working directory (~ when run from the menus)  
instead of somewhere inside /tmp.  
  
A quick Google search turned up a post to FreeBSD's FreshPorts site which  
suggests it's a problem related to libmikmod but none of my other  
mikmod-dependant packages show similar behavior so I assume that they are  
compensating for any such problem.  
  
Furthermore, the music.raw file usually remains empty (apparently, because it's  
only needed when a game relies on MikMod to decode it's music but it gets  
created regardless of whether it's needed) and since it's not a dotfile, it  
proves to be very distracting to me.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a game that uses SDL-mixer 
2. Run it 
3. Note the music.raw file which appears in your home dir 
 
Actual Results:  
~/music.raw gets created. (and usually left empty) 

Expected Results:  
No new non-dotfiles should appear in my home dir, especially temp files.
