Is it normal for klango to store everything that is output from espeak or IBM or another synth as a

So, aparently klango has this thing where it likes to store every single element of text and what not under a .wav file in .rendercache in the klango folder for some reason, what is that about?

this is because apparently it is using espeak.exe instead of dll which also fixes the GPL problem

Why does it do it for SAPI and OpenEVV, then? SAPI at least should be rendered inside the program to a memory stream if it needs to be panned or whatever. And if these executables support rendering to stdout they should probably do that too.
