Basically you told AG to call LAME with the argument "--alt-preset" but without the IN or OUT file. AG happily does that. And then also deletes the WAV as you also asked it to do. Hehe. It's a case of it doing exactly what you told it to do. And not what you wanted it to do.

When I pasted you my command line, I *did* have the in/out variables in there - guess you missed them.
