what i should probably do is make extract ktts or amarok and
look for /tmp/kde-[usr]/* and se WHY these wav files are ever
kept. for kttsd, yeah, it makes going back several lines
easier. that may explain why i have found "{garbage}wav{garbage}"
where {garbage} is several alpha-numbering. no dots, no
hyphens. or files ending in *wav.part"
this may be a historical leftover from when memory was very
pricey and disk-space much cheaper. [[ guessing ]]
