err:wave:wodPlayer_WriteMaxFrags Error in writing wavehdr. Reason: Input/output error

It seems that this error is filling it up at a rate over 20 MB/sec while I type this. Thanks for the command, manu, very helpful.

I just tried disabling the file per those instructions making a link to /dev/null. .xsession-errors is now 0 bytes and seems to be a link, but I'm still slowly losing free space.

I need to restart before I start losing config files again, so I won't be able to search for the cause right now. I tried waiting for disk usage analyzer to look through my drives but it takes too long on the two 500 GB drives. Whatever other file is growing, it's clear it was happening at the same time as .xsession-errors.
