Hi Shawn, that's great, thank you very much! I can add this to my next audio session scripts, so no searching for hidden configs anymore, for apps that don't allow to set a path by the app. No backup and restore of /home and copying configs needed for a single song anymore. :) Unfortunately it doesn't work for my Arch Linux as it is :(, I'll test it with Debian later.
