That is rather strange, specially because the problem you've solved is in the converting part, which if thrown an exception would stop the recording and thus the disc would be blank. Can we arrange a meeting on IRC so that we can try to debug this? I am not able to reproduce this bug so I can't really do it by myself. My nickname is 'cogumbreiro' and i'm on irc.freenode.net (on #pida) and on irc.gnome.org (on #pygtk). I also have a jabber account: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Large temporary .wav files are left behind in my home directory with > names like tmp2iy1Ye.wav after burning, but automatically removed when > Serpentine is quit.

That happens so you don't have to convert the same file twice (imagine writing multiple copies of the same album). > -- > serpentine couldnt start to burn > https://launchpad.net/bugs/22501 > -- Tiago Cogumbreiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://s1x.homelinux.net/ -- serpentine couldnt start to burn https://launchpad.net/bugs/22501 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
