Thanks Stefano. What I ended up doing that may be helpful for others
without relying on non-portable extensions to Make was the following...

        PATH_WORKAROUND != mktemp --suffix=.dtshd.spdif --dry-run

...to generate a path the ALSA file writer plugin can write out to which
is absolute, normalized, and (should) contains no spaces.
