I had to mkdir sounds in my home dir.
This is, kind of silly IMO, it would be much better
if the sclang code would check if the directories it needs exist,
and create them on-the-fly if necessary.  Or better yet,
use a proper temp directory for temporary data and dont put
temporary stuff into a dir relativ to the PWD.

I've had in mind to have Buffer write to /tmp which does make more sense. I'll do it, but I'm curious, what's the situation with temp directories on Windows? I seem to recall that at one point there was a root level directory called temp. Is that still the case, or is it all over the place for different versions?
