Package: vsound
Version: 0.6-3
Severity: minor

I just tried to save some stream using vsound: 

,---
| [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/media/cdrom$ vsound realplay \
|                http://www.antennebrandenburg.de/_/modem.ram
| About to start the application. The output will not be available
| until the application exits.
| Warning: LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/vsound/libvsound.so"
| Missing file ./vsound5789.au.
| This means that the libvsound wrapper did not work correctlty.
| Here are some the possible reasons :
|  - You are trying to record a stream (RTSP or PNM protocol) from 
|    the internet. You will need to use the --timing option.
|  - The program you are trying to run is setuid. You will need to 
|    run vsound as root.
|  - Vsound was not properly installed and hence won't work at
|    all.

vsound works, but cannot write to the current directory(The Filesystem
on the current directory is mounted read-only).
The error message printed is completely wrong and misleading.

vsound should check whether it may write to the current directory and if
not, write to some "emergency directory", something like /tmp. Or a
least mention the problem in the error message. :)
