Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: audacity
If there is insufficient disk space when exporting a project to WAV,
Audacity will simply write as much as there is space available and
report that the export was successful. It should instead inform the
user that the export failed. This occurs more frequently than you might
expect, because Audacity spews large amounts of data to /tmp/ to be able
to "undo" edits.
In my particular case, I cannot open a ~800MB WAV file, normalize it,
apply a 3dB amplification, and export back to same file despite having
more than 25% of my disk (about 3.8GB) available.
Note: This is sort of a specific instance of bug #22842, but the defect
is in the individual package, not distribution-wide.
