Is it a bug or a feature request?

A feature request

Describe what happens

Let's say there is an audio based on the http kind. The file it is downloading is very big, so downloading takes a long time.
Since this is problematic for larigira, a sysadmin might want to execute the action with large advance (manually, using cron), running this

/usr/local/bin/larigira-dbmanage getaction 1234 | env TMPDIR=/tmp/larigira.1000/ /usr/local/bin/larigira-audiogen -

larigira should be able to behave appropriately, and use this cached file. This doesn't work, because the http audiogenerator uses mkstemp, which creates a random file name, so this could never possibly work.

what should happen, instead?

running it twice should be idempotent.

describe all the steps we can do to reproduce the bug

run the aforementioned command two times. the second time you run it, network transfer should be very small. The same filename should be used.
