I'm ok with a default that consistently writes the PCM relative to the location 
of the `.o` file (if not overridden with an absolute path). What I'm not ok 
with is having the default be next to the `.o` file if `-o` is specified and 
next to the input file if `-o` is not specified. I don't think writing the PCM 
relative to the input file is a good default in any case. If `-o` is not 
specified, then I think it should be written relative to the current working 
directory; which matches where the `.o` file will be written.
