temp directory can not be set

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In previous versions it was possible to set the temp directory. Nowdays 
it seem to always put the temp directory inside the basedirectory. I might 
be only me, but I prefer having the possibility to configure this. IMHO, /
tmp/rr is the best place to put temporary files

What version of rubyripper are you using? On what operating system? Are 
you using the gtk2 or the commandline interface?

Debian ustable, trunk v92, cli and gui

There are a few reasons why I changed this. For one, rubyripper should use sane 
defaults. The other reason is that any configurable option must have some real 
value in it. I'm not adding options just for the sake of it. And finally this 
reduces code complexity.

Can you explain why you prefer setting the temp dir to /tmp/rr, even though 
this 
dir will be deleted when finished? Having /tmp in memory can yield some speed 
improvements, though they're typically less than 10 seconds per CD. Also I 
don't 
want users to fill their memory by accident.

Well I realize now that a configurable temp directory is not really what I am 
asking 
for. What annoys me is that the temp directory gets created inside my output 
directory and then remains there. If the directory were removed automatically 
when 
the ripping is done, I'd be happy. So I guess I should re-phrase the issue to 
"Temp 
directory is not removed after ripping is finished"

Ok, we're getting somewhere :) Does the temp directory always stay, or only in 
those situations where you closed or Rubyripper crashed the application before 
it 
was finished?

I already know it will stay when a user exits before the ripping is finished.

The directory seem to stay there, even if RR exits normally, I've tried both 
cli and 
gui

I see now this doesn't happen. Thought it did. Can you check again with 
revision 94 
please?

You might have noticed I broke the cdparanoia command. But it's fixed now. The 
temporary directory disappears here when encoding is finished. I'll close this 
bug 
now. 

If you would like to discuss the way rubyripper should react on closure before 
finishing, please open another bug. There are some design issues related to it, 
which will need a lot of work.

I am considering a release soon, because I feel a lot has changed since the 0.3 
version. So I'll only do bug fixes or easy features until the 0.4 release.
