Problem: /tmp is growing unlimited. Most of the files taken the space
are img.out.XX  (XX= numbers). There is also audio.pcm of 1.6 GB but it
is only one. /temp is now 22 GB. The system is almost unusable.

Ref: opensuse 10.3 64b / compiz-fusion /amd fx-55 /nvidia 8800. I run
all the updates as they become available.

Q1: what are those img.out files?

What multimedia programs are you running?

Q2: do I have a virus?

Dunno, its influenza time. You mean a biological virus, don't you? I'm sure my keyboard and screen are full of bacteria, virii and fungi, together with some nutrients - that's the only kind of virus I've met in ten years time :-P

Q3: Any direction where should I go?

Log-off your user, delete all files belonging to your user under /tmp, then tell the system to delete /tmp files periodically or at boottime or both (your choice).

And find the culprit: probably a program not cleaning its own house.
