It seems to be created by libmikmod when the library isn't able to get an audio output device. Maybe something changed in your audio setup? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] music.raw?
It is capable of playing music, but I have that feature disabled. It didn't make the music.raw file before the gnome upgrade...

Maybe the file is how it converts the music from whatever form it's in, wherever it's kept, to something that is played during the course of the game. Maybe it's the music itself. I don't know a lot about this, and certainly not about monsterz specifically, never having played it, but I've seen games get up to all kinds of hijinks in order to play music or sound effects, under both Win and Lin.

Re: [gentoo-user] music.raw?
I've discovered that whenever I run monsterz the file is created. I don't know why. monsterz is a python script, so I opened it up in vi and searched for the string "music.raw" but did not find it in /usr/games/monsterz. Maybe something the pygame module or python itself, but I don't know how to check for that...

Does anyone know what > this file is and/or how to keep it from coming back? How odd. I'm using GNOME 2.10 and have no such file. If you remove it, does it reappear when you start GNOME again? Perhaps when you're running GNOME you can using the `lsof` utility (emerge sys-process/lsof) to see what process is creating/using the file.
