	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 ]]
