Affects: serpentine (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
I was thinking, great, serpetine knows about flac files, I don't have to
convert them by hand, etc, etc.  But at the burn disk stage it failed
with an unhelpful message about needing 139MB of disk space for the
cache.  No hint as to where the space needed to be, and it really meant,
as I figured out much later, that it needed 139 *more* MB of space.

>From sifting the code, it looks like the tmpdir's location was intended
to be a preference, but there's nothing in the preferences dialog.  Or
maybe it was supposed to be set in the registry, but there's no entry
that I can see in gconf's editor.  So I conclude it's broken, though how
it should be fixed is unclear.  That it should be fixed seems certain.

In the meantime I'll have to try to remember the cryptic options needed
to use mkisofs and cdrecord do the job - at least they have man pages so
I can look that up.
