There constantly coming files named (null).something in the nemo user home directory, and it seems the media player is the culprit. This files can look like these:

[nemo@localhost ~]$ ls -1 \(null\).* | xargs file

There's a bug here; something is not cleaning up after itself and therefore wasting storage space and inodes. Please fix? :)

[update3] The first theory was this has to do with gPodder. This has been disconfirmed, and now it looks like the media app is the culprit. Can we please have more confirmations?
